I hate
Shirley and
Dorothy - though I have more respect for
Dorothy because it seems less dated and has lots of cute NNs.
Ruth and
Luana are nice. Funny actually that
Luana's been on my mind lately :) I feel like "L" names on girls are popular right now and "Lu" names in particular have an "of the moment" vibe. And then "-ana" names are also quite popular - so I think a
Luana would get along just fine these days and that something like
Dorothy Luana doesn't sound overly dated.
Ruth is retro-chic and both
Ru and
Ruthie are adorable as NNs
