HelpRe: Dorothy
in reply to a message by Inspector Javert
It's alright. Not a fave, I guess because it feels a little matronly to me still. But on a younger person I think it'd be nice.
I'm not a fan of Dot and Dodie. They really do sound frowsy to me still. Dory though... seems nifty.
I think the -thy sound is one of the appealing things about Dorothy. I like how it's a classic name that is totally English-ized (I know Anglicized is a word but it's not the one I want right now).
I agree that Marjorie has a similar feel.
Also Audrey, Edith, Helen, Frances, Theresa, Jean, Ursula
I want to give it flowers:
Dorothy Rosanna
Dorothy Azalea
Dorothy Jasmine
I want to update it too:
Dorothy Melissa
Dorothy Alexis
Dorothy Skye
Dorothy Fiona
or give it more air and mystique:
Dorothy Inanna
Dorothy Jezebel
Dorothy Demetria
