I want to honor my late grandmother in the future. Her name is [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] and always went without to provide for others. The problem I have is I don’t really like name, it’s sounds too dated for my taste but I really want to use it.
Suggestions?
Well, I love [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f], if that matters.

I absolutely love [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f]. However, if you really don’t care for it, there are other ways you can honor your grandmother with your daughters’ name.
I think its a nice name, and it makes a great middle name. You could also use [name_f]Dottie[/name_f] or [name_f]Dot[/name_f] as a middle name!
