I am immensely fond of Dorothy, and lately I've been considering putting Dorothy "Dodie" on my short list. I also wonder how Dorothy "Daisy" might work. I like Dorothea, too, as well as most of its international variants, having been looking at Dorotėja in particular last night. As for combinations, I'm liking Dorothy Lark, and Dorothy Camille to a lesser extent.

Yeah, I was considering Dorothea too. I'm not overly concerned with nicknames - if I had a Dorothy or Dorothea I'd probably end up just calling her by the full name. As for yours, I get Dodie but Daisy feels contrived (sorry!).

No need to be sorry! I'm just generally a fan of nicknames, especially as they're reflective of language, and Dodie really got me considering Dorothy more.

It's a bad habit that I have. Nicknames are fun to create, I must say.
