Help[Opinions] Re: Dorothea, Dorothy, Dodie and Dottie
in reply to a message by honeypie
Dorothy is something of a family name - a distant cousin married a beautiful, redhaired Dorothy - so I've always looked at it with enthusiasm. Dorothea ... is long. And rhythmically unpleasing to me, like Isabella. I prefer the livelier rhythm of, say, Victoria and Elizabeth.
I knew a delightful Dorothy at school; she was mostly Dorothy but sometimes Doth, because her parents said she was a Little Busy Bee! Personally, I'd prefer Dorrie to Dodie and Dottie.
