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.
