I wasn't confused. Dorothea comes from Dorotheo and Theodore comes from Theodoros. They're the same parts just reversed. So, Dorothea counts as a feminine form of Theodore, imo. If it makes you feel better, insert Theodora, but they have the same root. Just as I would consider Samantha to be a feminine form of Samuel, even if it isn't a direct feminine form.

It's not, but the units that make up the name come from exactly the same place/meaning, so I can see where they're coming from.
