HelpRe: Theodora or Dorothea?
in reply to a message by humblebee
Dorothea.
The odor in Theodora bothers me a bit, and I feel similarly about it to, say, Eugenia and Augustina (I notice the male name in it too much, and the A seems tacked on). Dorothea (the way I say it) also has more stress on the first syllable, which might be why it sounds more substantial to me. I like Theodora with Thora or Theda as a nickname, but the full name feels a little too daintified for my taste. That's not to say I don't think it's a pretty name - just nms compared to Dorothea.
