In Stephen Sondheim's play, Sunday in the Park with George, Dot (played by Bernadette Peters) is the lover of George. She is the woman who appears in the front of the painting the play was based on, A Sunday Afternoon on La Grande Jette by George Seraut. She marries Louis the baker while pregnant with George's child. As far as I know, the actual woman in that painting bore no similarity to the character Dot.
If dot means the same thing as period then this name is just disgusting.

Dot Matrix is one of the main characters from the 90's cartoon, ReBoot. (Dot Matrix is also a type of printer.)
