Edith

I prefer Edith Isabel to your other suggestions. And I once knew the sister of an Edith Linda Marie, which pretty well tells you her age, but it's still a pretty combo.
As for Dottie ... no. Just no. And another no to Edie. Edith is short enough that it doesn't need a nn - Edith Linda Marie was/is always Edith, it seems.

If I met an Edith nicknamed Dottie, I wouldn't have a real problem with it, but I would assume that it was a nickname like Skippy or Bud--one of those nicknames with a family story behind it and no connection to the given name.
I like Edith Isabel. Very pretty.

I'm not seeing Dottie as a nn for Edith at all. It's really a stretch, unless 1. Her middle name is Dorothy or something like that. 2. She is very freckled. 3. She wears polka-dots.
Edith is just so awful-sounding and looking that no middle name can fix it.
