Lucille vs. Dorothy

We are trying to figure out which name combo works best - both are family names on either side - which do you prefer?

[name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] [name_f]Lucille[/name_f]
OR
[name_f]Lucille[/name_f] [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f]

Depends somewhat on your last name, but rhythmically I like [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] [name_f]Lucille[/name_f].

I prefer [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] [name_f]Lucille[/name_f]. [name_f]Lucille[/name_f] [name_f]Dottie[/name_f] would be cute.

Those are my grandma’s names, LOL. I like [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] [name_f]Lucille[/name_f], and I do like [name_f]Lucille[/name_f] [name_f]Dottie[/name_f] or [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] [name_f]Dot[/name_f].

[name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] [name_f]Lucille[/name_f] is wonderful!

I think [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] [name_f]Lucille[/name_f] flows better, but [name_f]Lucille[/name_f] feels a little more wearable to me as a first name (especially w/ nn [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]).

[name_f]Lucille[/name_f] [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] because I much prefer [name_f]Lucille[/name_f] so I would put it in the first name spot.

[name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] [name_f]Lucille[/name_f]! [name_u]Love[/name_u] both names

I like the flow of [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] [name_f]Lucille[/name_f]

But have to say I love the nn [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]

I’m liking [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] [name_f]Lucille[/name_f] a bit more!

Depends on nicknames!

Myosotis · June 8, 2018, 12:18am

Sound and flowise I definitely prefer [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] and [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] [name_f]Lucille[/name_f] as a combo.

namefan · June 8, 2018, 4:51am

[name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] [name_f]Lucille[/name_f]!

Another vote for [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] [name_f]Lucille[/name_f]! It sounds better + I just prefer [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] as a name, it’s so cute

kmdharrington · June 8, 2018, 5:55am

[name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] [name_f]Lucille[/name_f] has a better flow, plus I prefer the nicknames for [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] ([name_f]Dot[/name_f], [name_f]Dodie[/name_f], [name_f]Thea[/name_f], [name_f]Dolly[/name_f]).

jessjess · June 8, 2018, 7:08am

[name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] [name_f]Lucille[/name_f] flows better

mcmama18 · June 8, 2018, 11:14am

Thanks everybody! I agree with most of you that the rhythm of [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] [name_f]Lucille[/name_f] is smoother and, even though I have liked [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] better for most of my pregnancy, I am beginning to really like [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] a lot. [name_f]Dottie[/name_f], [name_f]Dolly[/name_f], [name_f]Dot[/name_f] - pretty cute! Thanks again for all the input!
