Long Form for Dory?

Girl Names
1

Recently I have been crushing on the name [name]Dory[/name], but to me it is obviously a nickname and needs a long form. I dislike [name]Dorothy[/name], though, for some reason, but I love [name]Dory[/name] and want an actual name that it can be a nickname for! I am thinking of the middle name [name]Maeve[/name] maybe, so she could be [name]Dory[/name] [name]Maeve[/name].

Lots and lots! “Dor” means gift in Greek, so many of these will have Greek roots (as does [name]Dorothy[/name]). It can also mean “golden.”

[name]Pandora[/name] is like my joint favourite girl’s name but I’d opt for the nickname Panda over [name]Dory[/name] but it definitely works. I really like [name]Isadora[/name] and [name]Theodora[/name] too.
