Lately I’ve been considering Dorothy. Dorothy is my grandmother’s name “She goes by Dot which I think is cute” and I think I’d like to name a child in some way after her. I also like the wizard of Oz connection and the nicknames “Dottie” and “Dot” are precious. But I’d like to know what y’all think of the name? And what middles should you put with it? My Grandma’s name is Dorothy Ruth, her mother’s name was Hazel (another name I love) and my mom is named Staci Leigh.

[name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] is so sweet! I would be absolutely excited to meet a baby [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f].

I dislike [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] because my mother’s mean stepmother was named that. But I love [name_f]Dorothea[/name_f] and [name_f]Dot[/name_f]. [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] [name_u]Hazel[/name_u] or [name_f]Dorothea[/name_f] [name_u]Hazel[/name_u] are lovely.
I love the name [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f]. I think both [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] [name_u]Hazel[/name_u] & [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] [name_u]Leigh[/name_u] are both great names
One of my current favourites! A friend named her daughter [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] and her nickname is [name_f]Dorie[/name_f]. I think it goes so well with [name_u]Hazel[/name_u] too!
[name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] has been on my list for a long time – I love it! It has special meaning to me, too. I also agree that [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] [name_u]Leigh[/name_u] or [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] [name_u]Hazel[/name_u] are lovely (I especially like [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] [name_u]Leigh[/name_u] which gives me old Hollywood vibes!)
[name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] is a sweet name - warm but strong!
[name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] [name_u]Hazel[/name_u] would make a cute combo if you want two direct honours, but based on your family names and just some I like, other middles could be…
[name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] [name_f]Anastasia[/name_f]
[name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] [name_f]Mabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] [name_u]Rue[/name_u]
[name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] [name_f]Leah[/name_f]
[name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] [name_u]Shay[/name_u]

[name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] [name_f]Hannah[/name_f]
[name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] [name_f]Meadow[/name_f]
[name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] [name_u]Zenith[/name_u]

I absolutely love sweet Dorothy! I totally agree that the Wizard of Oz connection is wonderful, and I love Dot, but love Dottie especially, as nicknames! So so beautiful!
Hazel would be such a charming middle name for Dorothy, and Dorothy would also be such a charming middle name for Hazel! What a brilliant combo, truly. So strong, so vintage, and so sweet without feeling overfly frilly. Wonderful family connections too. I’m big on honor names myself. 
Also seconding this!! Stunning x
[name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] is gorgeous 
Honestly I absolutely love [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] she’s sweet, whimsical, has a lovely meaning, is fun with a lovely vintage flair. I really like [name_f]Dotty[/name_f] & [name_f]Dot[/name_f] as nicknames for [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f]!
Looking at your family names [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] [name_u]Hazel[/name_u] would be lovely and I also really like [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] [name_u]Leigh[/name_u] which would honour both your mother & grandmother. You could go for [name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] which [name_f]Staci[/name_f] derives from [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] [name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] would be pretty and unexpected. I actually really love [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] [name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] 
[name_u]Or[/name_u] you could just go [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] [name_f]Ruth[/name_f] your Grandma had a wonderful name!

[name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] isn’t my personal style, but I would love to meet a little [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f]! [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] [name_u]Hazel[/name_u] would be especially sweet!
I love [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] and [name_f]Dot[/name_f] as a nickname is too cute!
[name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] [name_u]Hazel[/name_u] [name_u]Leigh[/name_u] sounds beautiful to me
i adore, adore, adore dorothy (and dorothea too)!! my favorite nickname for both is dodie, but dot and dottie are adorable, too. dorothy hazel would be a sweet honor.
I love [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f]! I considered it for my first but my husband wasn’t a fan.
[name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] [name_u]Rue[/name_u] is really cute! But do you think [name_u]Rue[/name_u] is too connected to [name_f]Euphoria[/name_f] now? (I HATE that show)
