Dorothy

Beatrice

Beatrice. They're both fine but I like Bea / Bee better than Dot or Dotty.

Beatrix > Dorothy > Beatrice > Dorothea

Dorothy.

I like Dorothy, but since I named my daughter Beatrice, the choice is easy.

Can't decide. I find them both awful (sorry).

Dorothy!

I knew of two sisters named Beatrice and Dorothy at a daycare center I worked at a few years ago, ages 4 and 2. I like Dorothy better than Beatrice but only marginally since they are both great.

Beatrice. Dorothy is so frumpy to me.

Dorothy

100% Beatrice

But I'd choose Dorothea over Beatrice. Thea is a great nn. Bea is also cute but not as much as Thea.

---

I always have a tough time choosing between Beatrice and Beatrix.

---

Dottie and Dot are cute nn's but they also work for Dorothea.

Beatrice

Although I like Dorothy too!

Dorothy

---

Hard to choose though, I like them both. But I know quite a lot of Beatrices, and Dorothy is due a comeback I think

Don't like both, but I might as well choose Beatrice

Dorothy. Beatrice is ass.

Definitely Beatrice

xo

Beatrice. Much cuter

Dorothy

I don't love Dorothy, but I don't hate it the way I do Beatrice. Beatrice = beets yuk. Besides, you can call a Dorothy Dorrie, which I kind of like.

Dorothy

---

for sure. So lively, and there's something about the balance of Dorothy that I love. Also, she's fun on her own, yet has potential cute nicknames like Dot(tie).

---

I don't understand the appeal of Beatrice at all.

Oh! tough one.

---

I think I would go with Dorothy, but only because Dot is like the most ridiculously cute nickname ever. Also, it is less hipster than Beatrice right now.

---

Beatrix or Beatriz though... I think those would win over Dorothy.

Dorothy...

---

...though Beatrice is lovely.

Beatrice

Despite not being my favourite variant, I still quite like Beatrice. Plus after hearing Beatrice on the most adorable little girl on a TV show I've grown to like it more. Dorothy is nice enough, but feels a touch dated.
