Help[Opinions] Re: Dorothea, Dorothy, Dodie and Dottie
in reply to a message by honeypie
I have a great-aunt Dorothy, whom we all call Aunt Dot, or, on occasion, Aunt Dit-Dot, but I assume she was likely Dottie (or Dotty) as a child. Dorothy is also my mom's middle name, but she doesn't like it.
If I used either, I would use Dorothea with the nickname Thea (or maybe Dora, if Dora the Explorer ever stops being popular). I think Dottie is kind of cute, but Dodie reminds me of Dodo birds, so would be a no-go for me.
For me, Dorothy in particular still sounds very old-fashioned, but it's rising in popularity quite quickly and could end up being the next Hazel or Stella or Ava.
