Help[Opinions] Re: Dolly/Dot
in reply to a message by queenv
While I do think Dolly/Dolley works as a nickname for Dorothy and Dolores (especially Dolores), to me it sounds a bit silly - I immediately think of a toy doll, and that association, for me, is too strong to shake. Same goes for Doll.
As for Dot, I think it's a wonderful nickname for Dorothy - it's cute. I like it. Although I do prefer Dorothea or Dorothy, that's not the subject at hand. I also like Dotty as a nickname, and think it would be darling for a younger Dorothy/Dorothea to go by Dotty and then Dot as she grew older.
