Help[Opinions] Re: Dolly/Dot
in reply to a message by queenv
I've just been thinking lately about how I think so critically about baby and/or little kids, but not adults. As in I heard about a little baby named Roger and thought "why on earth?" yet my father-in-law is named Roger and I never really thought it was a horrible name.

If I think of a friend naming their baby Dorothy or Dolores and calling her Dolly, I think it's super lame. Doll too. Cheesy and lame. But I know a 30-something named Dolly and I've never really been critical of it. Weird.
Anyway, Dolly is too girly-cheesy-lame for me, but it makes sense as a nickname for Dolores if that's your speed. Dorothy nn Dolly is kinda farfetched for me.
I love love love Dot as a nickname for Dorothy. I had a school bus driver named Dorothy who we all called Dot from Kindergarten through grade 6. She was awesome and I've loved the name and nickname since then.
