HelpDorothea
in reply to a message by EMB
I don't love Dora though I do love Theodora even if sometimes the dora part bothers me. It is also how I feel about the name Isidora/ Isadora. I love them but the dora part pokes at me sometimes.
I prefer Thea as a nn to Theo but I love both nn's. Also Thea can be used as a nn for Theodora even if Theo feels slightly more natural.
I think Dottie and Dot are cute nn's for Dorothea and they don't really work for Theodora.
Dorothea and Dorothy are also family names for me. My great grandma Ella who I knew well was Ella Frieda and her mother was Maria Dorothea. Dorothy was my husband's grandmother's name.
So I guess I am barely much help since I love them both.
