Do you know anyone named Dottie? Dottie to honor Grandmother (not short for Dorothea/Dorothy)

[Anonymous]

Is Dottie too "out there" name wise in today's day and age? Any ways to incorporate Dottie without using Dorothea/Dorothy? D names are hard.

Yes. Her name is Dorothy. She's about 38 or 39. Only her sister sometimes calls her Dottie. She hates both her name and her nickname.

Know that Dottie will be pronounced Duuddy. Do you like how that sounds?

I know two Dorothys who are both called Dottie. One is 10 and one is 50. I can't imagine giving a kid a nickname as their full name.

I had an old lady crossing guard in elementary school named Dottie and a friend in high school named Dottie. NObody pronounced it Duuuudy.

I am English and would pronounce it Dottie, however, I have heard the American version of " butter" being budder so am pretty sure Dottie would not be pronounced as its spelled. Doddy maybe......

The only Dottie I know (in her early 30s) is a Dorothy.

Was your grandmother's name really Dottie on her birth certificate? That seems rare for that time period.

If yes, You can always use it as a middle name and call your DD Dottie. But please give her a full name as her first name. Preferably something less out there than Dottie.

Your baby is going to grow up to be a young woman and she will want to be taken seriously in the workplace.

You could name her Isadora and use Dottie as a nn.

I think Dot or Dottie would be a cute name for a little girl. There's nothing wrong with Dorthy. It's more modern than a lot of baby names I've heard recently.

I love it. The lead on Odd Mom Out's daughter is Dottie.

I saw Belladora on an orphanage headstone.

But I'd just use Dorothy.

Yes, no one under 50 though. But its a cute name and a nice sentiment so go for it!
