A child named Dorcas is going to be teased, there's no doubt about it. Anne and Miriam are great, though.

I don't like Dorcas. It's a silly insult to call someone. Like dork, which it is also too close to. I like Anne. It's so simple and pretty, and I love Annie as a nn. Miriam sounds very exotic. I neither like nor dislike it.
