Dorothy

Oh, I adore Dorothy! It's one of my favorite names. I hope it doesn't become distressingly popular!
While grocery shopping a few months ago I saw a little maybe 4 year old girl being called Dorothy. It sounded so cute, so yes, I do think that it'll make a comeback within the next 10-20 years.
I can't imagine it making a comeback, but I could certainly enjoy seeing it here and there. I have a very positive association of my childhood schoolbus driver, and so have always loved the nickname Dot.
I love Dorothy and I like the nicknames Dot/Dotty/Dolly for it. I don't know it I want all these old, stale names that I love to make comebacks, since I tend to eschew any kind of popular and trendy name (there are exceptions). However, I wouldn't mind hearing of a kid named Dorothy every now and then. I know of only one child named Dorothy and she's about eight or nine. She is often on the same bus as me with her mother as I ride home.
