It feels less cumbersome and rolls off my tongue better. Also, I'd call her
Thea so it makes more sense for me. Having said that, I do like
Dorothea -- just not as well. And also, I really find
Dorothy to be quite frumpy and dated and well,
Dorothea is just
Dorothy with an 'a.' IOW, people would hear
Dorothy first before they realize it's
Dorothea. ;-)
