Other formal names for Dottie?

Girl Names

I love the meaning of [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] and like the nicknames Dottie/Dot. I know some people go with just [name_f]Dottie[/name_f], but I would prefer it as a nickname.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] isn’t totally out of the running, but there are several reasons why we probably wouldn’t be able to use [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] or [name_f]Dorothea[/name_f].

[name_f][/name_f]

Y’all are creative- are there any other names I’m missing that could arrive at the nickname [name_f]Dottie[/name_f]?

I have
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Odette[/name_f] and [name_f]Peridot[/name_f] nickname Dot/Dottie on my list
[name_f][/name_f]I think [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f] could work too especially with a D middlee
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Bardot[/name_f] is another I like!

Never would have thought of this but it is my birthstone, so that’s would be an interesting connection!

[name_f]Peridot[/name_f] is my birthstone, so that would be a cool connection! [name_f]Odette[/name_f] always makes my brain think “owe debt” even though the name itself gives me ballet vibes. [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f] sounds nice with our surname!
