If you look up Dodie on this site, you will see it says it's a diminutive of Dorothy. So yes, it's legit. However, "My Three Sons" is the only place I've ever seen Dodie as a nickname for Dorothy. I remember an actress named Dody Goodman, but I looked it up and her real name was Dolores.

I agree that Dodie is terrible and just about any other nickname for Dorothy is better, even Dotty.
