I don't love
Dora though I do love
Theodora even if sometimes the dora part bothers me. It is also how I feel about the name
Isidora/
Isadora. I love them but the dora part pokes at me sometimes.
I prefer
Thea as a nn to
Theo but I love both nn's. Also
Thea can be used as a nn for
Theodora even if
Theo feels slightly more natural.
I think
Dottie and
Dot are cute nn's for
Dorothea and they don't really work for
Theodora.
Dorothea and
Dorothy are also family names for me. My great grandma
Ella who I knew well was
Ella Frieda and her mother was
Maria Dorothea.
Dorothy was my husband's grandmother's name.
So I guess I am barely much help since I love them both.
