[name_f]Hattie[/name_f] and [name_f]Alice[/name_f] are really cute and aren’t super common so they would be great on a spunky little girl.

[name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] is flawless!
It’s unique and underused nowadays, it’s got a sweet and feminine sound and the cutest nicknames ([name_f]Dolly[/name_f], [name_f]Dot[/name_f], [name_f]Dottie[/name_f], even [name_f]Thea[/name_f])

I love [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f]!!

I love all of these, but it would have to be [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f]/[name_f]Dorothea[/name_f]. It’s lovely and has so many cute nickname options.

My second choice would probably be [name_f]Zelda[/name_f].

A little surprised by [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f]'s love! It’s an honour name as well as both my mom and grandmother’s middle name.

I hadn’t considered [name_f]Dolly[/name_f] which is also adorable.

I actually voted for [name_f]Zelda[/name_f] even though I love [name_f]Alice[/name_f] and [name_f]Rose[/name_f]. [name_f]Zelda[/name_f] is so wonderfully roaring twenties to me though and so uncommon.

[name_f]Alice[/name_f] would be my top choice, followed by [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] nn [name_f]Hattie[/name_f], and then [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] nn [name_f]Dottie[/name_f].

I love both [name_f]Zelda[/name_f] and [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f]. Between the two, I voted for [name_f]Zelda[/name_f] - I would love to see it chosen for more babies!

It was so hard to choose between [name_f]Alice[/name_f] and [name_f]Zelda[/name_f]! I love them both

I like [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] the most, and I think [name_f]Dottie[/name_f] is such a cute nickname!

[name_f]Alice[/name_f] got my vote. I also like [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] & [name_f]Rose[/name_f] (as a first name it’s so beautifully fresh with a great vintage feel to it…I dislike it as a middle though, as it’s so very tired there, being a common ‘filler’ name).

I love the literary associations of both [name_f]Alice[/name_f] & [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f]; Wonderland & [name_m]Oz[/name_m].

The sweet and simple [name_f]Rose[/name_f] got my vote. However, after seeing your comment regarding [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] and it’s connection to your mother and grandmother I have changed my mind. I’m a sucker for honoring names.

Another cute nickname for [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] could be [name_u]Theo[/name_u], if she preferred.

Ranking them I’d go with…
[name_f]Dorothy[/name_f]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_f]Zelda[/name_f]
[name_f]Hattie[/name_f]

No contest for me: it’s got to be the fabulous [name_f]Zelda[/name_f]!

I voted for [name_f]Zelda[/name_f], but it was a tough choice between that and [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f]! I personally love [name_f]Dora[/name_f] or [name_u]Dory[/name_u] as a nickname. I also really like [name_f]Alice[/name_f] but feel like it’s on the verge of becoming really popular, if that matters to you.
