I love Dot as a nickname, it’s adorable. Makes me think of a “Dippin Dot”. (Singular of Dippin Dots Ice Cream). Better than Dottie I think which means “off her rocker”.

This just sounds silly as a name, I can't even imagine it on a person.

I always thought this was different in a nice way. Since every Dot I've met has been older, it's always nice to come across it in a sea of Marys and Cathies. It stands out.

Too simplistic. I can't imagine this as a legal name. But I have some fondness for it because of the character from Animaniacs.

Infantile. Sounds like a name for a dog. Would lead to jokes today.

In Stephen Sondheim's play, Sunday in the Park with George, Dot (played by Bernadette Peters) is the lover of George. She is the woman who appears in the front of the painting the play was based on, A Sunday Afternoon on La Grande Jette by George Seraut. She marries Louis the baker while pregnant with George's child. As far as I know, the actual woman in that painting bore no similarity to the character Dot.
