HelpRe: Theodora or Dorothea?
in reply to a message by humblebee
It's funny. I adore Thea and you'd think I'd automatically prefer Dorothea yet there's something about Theodora that flows better to my way of thinking. It seems less clunky. Mind you, I like Dorothea very much so I'm not saying it's a bad name at all. I suppose Theodora seems more chic and Dorothea seems a little more staid.
ETA the main reason why I prefer Theodora. It just hit me. Dorothy has always seems dated and dull to me and when I hear Dorothea, it's like hearing Dorothy until the very last syllable. IOW, I don't really care for it until the very end. With Theodora, it's melodic all the way. :-)
