I love the name [name_f]Dot[/name_f]/Dottie if we have another girl but am not sold on [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] or [name_f]Dorothea[/name_f].
Could you help with alternatives? Like [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f] or [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]? I don’t mind nicknames being more of a stretch either - like [name_f]Dottie[/name_f] as a nn for [name_f]Adaline[/name_f] or [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] (or as long as it contains the letter ‘d’).
Orrr DOT could be her initials - like [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] [name_f]Olive[/name_f] [name_f]Theodora[/name_f]. Any combos you like with the initials DOT? Her full initials would be DOTS which I think is kinda cute.

I love [name_f]Peridot[/name_f] for [name_f]Dot[/name_f]/Dottie.
B_____x and [name_f]Peridot[/name_f]!!!
!!!
DOTS is adorable. Baby “Polka Dots.”
I also think JUST Theodora could be Dot/Dottie if Dorothea isn’t great but you like the sounds!

[name_f]My[/name_f] first thought was [name_f]Peridot[/name_f] too but I’m sensing it’s not quite your RL style, @cactusgram?
Other full name ideas for [name_f]Dot[/name_f]:
[name_f]Theodora[/name_f]
[name_f]Theda[/name_f] 
[name_f]Dora[/name_f]
[name_f]Delta[/name_f]
[name_f]Dido[/name_f] (I don’t think this is really “you” either, but I’m crushing on it so thought I’d include it!)
[name_f]Odette[/name_f]
I love the idea of initials spelling DOT/DOTS – so cute! [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] [name_f]Olive[/name_f] [name_f]Theodora[/name_f] is gorgeous; [name_f]Delphine[/name_f]/Delphi, [name_f]Daphne[/name_f], [name_f]Delia[/name_f], [name_f]Dinah[/name_f] and [name_f]Dahlia[/name_f] also spring to mind for you.

I do like [name_f]Dottie[/name_f] on its own but don’t feel brave enough to do it.
As for [name_f]Peridot[/name_f], I do like it, but you’re right, it’s not my IRL style. 
The thing about [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f] and [name_f]Ottoline[/name_f] - our friends have a boy named [name_m]Otto[/name_m]. And [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f] is SO unfamiliar in the US unfortunately. And sounds more like odd-ih-lee when we pronounce it (which I actually like hah but worry others do not). Maybe I could use it in the middle spot.
I’m glad you all like the initials idea!!
Maybe something where the fn and mn contain letters of [name_f]Dot[/name_f]/Dottie in them, such as:
-
DAISY OTTILIE / DAISY OTTILIE
-
DAISY CHARLOTTE --> [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] is sometimes known as Lottie, so changing the L to a D would make sense if the fn begins with a D & [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] is the mn

So many good suggestions! I love [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f] and [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]. [name_f]Dolores[/name_f] is a GP of mine - love her on [name_u]West[/name_u] World. [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] was high up on our list last time around but SO nixed it since he doesn’t like the ‘cord’ sound.

I like [name_f]Dolores[/name_f]. Maybe DOlores Theodora or DOlores Thea, or something like it, would work.
I’m kind of in love with the initials idea–DOTS is so sweet, and [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] [name_f]Olive[/name_f] [name_f]Theodora[/name_f] is lovely!
