Well, if I intend to make a response to a post I don't read the other responses first because I don't want to be influenced by them. In this case, though, I wasn't initially intending to respond, so I read them.
Since most have praised
Dorothy, and those who didn't praise it didn't criticize it, I decided to respond to give an opposing opinion. I don't like
Dorothy. I think it's clunky and unattractive and perpetually middle-aged.
Nor do I like
Dottie. It just sounds silly.
I do, however, like Dorrie, which I think is the best nickname if
Dorothy must be used.
I know of a Dolene, nn
Dot, btw.
