Dorothy is a nice name and probably due for a revival. For nns I like Dorrie or Dottie.

Dorothy is beautiful name and Dorothea is yet better :-)))

I love Dorothy. My favorite nn for it is Dory, followed by Dottie.

I know two people named Dorothy, one goes by Doro and the other by Dorrie.

I quite like Dorothy, but prefer Dorothea nn Thea

I love the name Dorothy! In fact, I'm probably going to change my name to it. Dot is my chosen nickname (as you can see from my username). I also love Dottie, and I want to get people to call me those interchangably. Dolly and Dodie are very cute too.

I like Dorothy and I adore the nns Dottie and Dot, although I prefer Theodora nn Dot or Dottie

Dorothy is pretty. I wouldn't use it because it's not quite my style but it is still very pretty. I like the nicknames Dottie & Doro.

Dorothea with the nickname Thea is more my style.

I absolutely love the name Dorothy. Dottie is okay, but Dory is my favorite nickname.

I reall y like Dorothy, but my favorite nn's for it are Dora and Dorie. I prefer Dorothea over Dorothy, however. Not a big fan of Dot and Dottie but they're not bad, I really, really dislike Dolly, though. No disrespect to Miss Parton, but I just can't stand it (though I'd definitely rather see it as a nn than a formal name).

Dorothy is beautiful and the only nice nickname of course is Dottie.

My Dad had a sister named Dolly+

who died as a young child. I'd always though her name was dorothy, but no, it was Dolina.

I love Dorothy, but I don't really care for any of her nicknames. If I had to choose one, I'd go farther afield and choose Doro or Thea.

I don't mind Dorothy with the nn Dot. Its my great grandmother's name.

Dorothy nn Dottie is great. Dottie is the only nn I like for it. I think I'm fond of Dottie because of the character "Dottie Henson" in the movie "A League of their Own"! But regardless, it is a very cute name.

I love the name Dorothy and the only nn I like is Dottie. All of the others either sound off or are too short, this is a wonderful name I would like to see come back into style.

I like Dorothy as long as it is prn. with three syllables. Where I live it tends to be said "Dor-thy," which is awful, imo. I much prefer Dot above the other nns. Dolly seems especially childish, Dodie makes me think of dodo birds, and Dottie reminds me of a very absentminded person, not least because I know a woman named Dottie who is very ditzy. Dot is cute though.

I think Dorothy is cute. I wouldn't use it myself, I don't like it THAT much, but I can see it making a small comeback, and I like it a lot better than some other old-fashioned names popular right now, like Evelyn or Annabelle.

I don't care for the nn Dottie, as I know a very rude and hateful old woman (much addicted to the tanning bed and short skirts) named Dottie. Dot is no better, and I have a friend who calls her period "my dot." lol

---

Dolly is cute, I had a teacher in high school, tragically killed in a car accident, named Dolly. She was one of the sweetest ladies I ever knew.

Don't like Dodie. Had a hand-me-down doll, a "friend" of Barbie, named Dodie. Some aunt or cousin had chopped off most of her hair before I came along and she was very uglyl. lol
How about Dorrie or some variation of that? When I was little I liked these books about a little girl witch named Dorrie. They always started with "This is Dorrie. She is a witch; a little witch."
