Nickname Showdown!
Dorothea:
Dolly or Dottie? Rosamond:
Roz or Rosie?
Bonus question: Thoughts on Rosamond? I recently found out that it was Elizabeth Taylor's middle name (well, Rosemond) and I feel like it's a nice little nod to my favorite old school movie star!

Dolly, because I think it's cute in a retro sort of way, whereas Dottie would just make me think Dorothea was not too bright or absent-minded.Roz because it's edgy and I love the sound of it. Rosie isn't too bad, really, just boring to me. It also makes me think of someone overweight, due to a personal association.Rosamond is very pretty. I love most Rose names, they seem very romantic to me.

If I saw someone named Dorothea or Rosamund, I would enjoy saying the full mellifluous Dorothea or Rosamund. I have a friend named Dorothea, and I find it so simple when people call her Dori. What's Dori when Dorothea is is available?! I would also NOT be able to resist enunciating Rosamund to perfection (like Lady Grantham).

Dottie and Roz. I love Rosamond, but not as much as Rosamund. I feel that the u grounds it and the o makes it seem more ethereal and pearly.

Dolly and Rosie!I like Rosamond. I also like Rosamund. I'm not sure about Rosemond- I like the look of it, but I want to say it more like Rose-mond or at least make the "e" very small. Is that how it's really pronounced or does it sound like Rosamund?
