I'm pretty sure this is the full name of Dora, a princess ghost on 'Danny Phantom' but I'm not fully sure of the spelling. It might be Dorathea.

I'm very fond of this name, and it's high up on my favorites list. I like both Doro and Thea as nicknames.

I love this name. But we would write Doroteja. The shorter name would be Teja - it is a very popular name.
