Around late 1700’s?

YOU ARE VALID

And these children that you spit on,
As they try to change their worlds,
Are immune to your consultations,
They're quite aware of what they're goin' through.

Yes, it existed, but apparently was not particularly popular at that time. George Stewart, in "American Given Names," reports that "among the [early American] immigrants there were few named Dorothy," which implies that there were not many, but there were some.
