Favourite nicknames for Dorothy?
At the moment, I am loving Dora 
Thanks for your suggestions!
ETA: Also middle name suggestions - especially names that would link to Dorothy’s meaning, ‘gift’
[name_f]Dot[/name_f], [name_f]Dottie[/name_f], [name_u]Theo[/name_u] are my favorites but [name_f]Dora[/name_f] is also sweet. Other options are [name_f]Dori[/name_f], [name_f]Dee[/name_f], DeeDee, [name_f]Thea[/name_f], [name_u]Teddy[/name_u], and I had a relative who was a [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] nn [name_u]Tommy[/name_u] but I’m not sure if that was meant to be related to her full name or not.
[name_f]My[/name_f] faves are [name_f]Dot[/name_f], [name_f]Dodie[/name_f], and [name_f]Dolly[/name_f]

[name_f]Dot[/name_f]! Though I do thibk [name_f]Dorie[/name_f] is kinda cute. [name_f]My[/name_f] favorite [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] combo right now is [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] [name_u]Willow[/name_u]
[name_f]Dottie[/name_f] is my personal fave! I also think [name_f]Do[/name_f], Dothie, [name_f]Ro[/name_f], [name_u]Rory[/name_u], [name_f]Dot[/name_f], [name_u]Teddy[/name_u], [name_u]Dory[/name_u], and [name_f]Thea[/name_f] are lovely. [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] is a gorgeous name.
As for nicknames relating to “gift…” hm. That’s tricky, and it’s fun to think about. Perhaps Present, [name_m]Little[/name_m] [name_u]Light[/name_u], [name_u]Gift[/name_u], Giddy? These are more like pet names for loving bestowance, but they’re fun!
[name_f]My[/name_f] favourite nicknames are [name_f]Dot[/name_f], [name_f]Dottie[/name_f], [name_u]Theo[/name_u] and [name_f]Thea[/name_f].
as for middle names, i like [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u] and [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] [name_f]May[/name_f]
[name_f]Dora[/name_f] is my fave too!
I like [name_f]Dottie[/name_f], [name_f]Dodie[/name_f] and [name_f]Ro[/name_f] too!
For middles:
[name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]
[name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] [name_f]Blythe[/name_f]
[name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] [name_f]Mabel[/name_f]

[name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] [name_f]Summer[/name_f]
[name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] [name_f]Hope[/name_f]
[name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] [name_f]Vita[/name_f]
I like [name_f]Dodie[/name_f] best but there’s also [name_f]Dot[/name_f], [name_f]Dottie[/name_f], [name_u]Dory[/name_u], [name_f]Dora[/name_f], [name_f]Ro[/name_f], [name_u]Rory[/name_u], [name_f]Thea[/name_f] and [name_f]Dolly[/name_f]!
I love [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] nn [name_f]Dora[/name_f] too! I also like [name_f]Dottie[/name_f] and [name_u]Dove[/name_u] (but pronounced dohve, not duhve like the bird). For a combo, I’d suggest [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] [name_f]Helen[/name_f]. [name_f]Helen[/name_f] means “light”, so together it could mean gift of light!
Caruso’s wife’s name was [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] and he called her [name_f]Doro[/name_f], which I think is lovely and unusual. I also like [name_f]Thea[/name_f] and [name_u]Theo[/name_u].

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there.
I think that [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] nn [name_f]Dora[/name_f] is darling and makes sense. But if you’re okay with a bit of a stretch, I like the idea of [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] nn [name_f]Daisy[/name_f]! I also love [name_f]Dorothea[/name_f] nn [name_f]Daisy[/name_f].
[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps.
