Finding a Spot for Lauren and Dorothy?

Girl Names
1

I’ve separated my list into names I love as first names and names I love, but would only use in the middle spot, and, I have two that I’ve yet to place into a combination - [name_f]Lauren[/name_f] and [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f]. [name_f]Lauren[/name_f] has always been a favourite of mine, and I’ve really grown to love [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f], but I just don’t think I’d use it as a first name.

I’ve got a few first names that need middle still, so, where would you place [name_f]Lauren[/name_f] and [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] in a combination on my list?

First Names:

[name_f]Olivia[/name_f], [name_f]Poppy[/name_f], [name_f]Mia[/name_f], [name_f]Ella[/name_f], [name_f]Lily[/name_f], [name_f]Evie[/name_f], [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f], [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f], [name_f]Freya[/name_f], [name_f]Sienna[/name_f], [name_f]Daisy[/name_f], [name_f]Florence[/name_f], [name_f]Lola[/name_f], [name_f]Imogen[/name_f], [name_f]Hannah[/name_f], [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u], [name_f]Elsie[/name_f], [name_f]Summer[/name_f], [name_f]Jasmine[/name_f], [name_f]Emma[/name_f], [name_f]Bella[/name_f], [name_f]Georgia[/name_f], [name_f]Harriet[/name_f], [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f], [name_f]Emilia[/name_f], [name_f]Mollie[/name_f], [name_f]Bethany[/name_f], [name_f]Maryam[/name_f], [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f], [name_f]Lyla[/name_f], [name_f]Orla[/name_f], [name_f]Felicity[/name_f], [name_f]Arabella[/name_f], [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f], [name_f]Claire[/name_f], [name_f]Nellie[/name_f]

Thank you so much!

It’s funny that you suggest [name_f]Lauren[/name_f] [name_f]Olivia[/name_f], I actually had a friend named that, who had a twin sister named [name_f]Jacqueline[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f]! I really like [name_f]Ella[/name_f] [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f], [name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_f]Lauren[/name_f], [name_f]Lauren[/name_f] [name_f]Emma[/name_f], [name_f]Lauren[/name_f] [name_f]Olivia[/name_f], and [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f], thank you :slight_smile:

[name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] is a clunky old fashioned name so I’d put it with something frillier to sweeten it up…

[name_f]Emilia[/name_f] [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] i think has a great balance
[name_f]Isobel[/name_f] [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] is also great, but I’d spell it this way because I like the look of the repetition in the “O” in both names.

[name_f]Lauren[/name_f] is harder for me because rather than feeling like a revived old fashioned name, it just feels very dated (kinda 90s)

I personally like [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] [name_f]Lauren[/name_f] - [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] adds a bit of gravity to [name_f]Lauren[/name_f]… I also happen to think [name_f]Hattie[/name_f] is an adorable nn.

I would use [name_f]Maryam[/name_f] [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] and [name_f]Lauren[/name_f] [name_f]Felicity[/name_f]

[name_f]Ella[/name_f] [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f]
[name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f]

My cousin has [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] as a middle name- Savera [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f]. I like that she has a super unique first name that offsets the old-ness of [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] (which is our grandma’s name).

I think [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] works really well. [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] is interesting because it’s uncommon (I’ve never met one, or even known of one), yet still sounds old-fashioned because [name_f]Anna[/name_f] and [name_f]Belle[/name_f] have both been around forever.
