Summer or Thea?
Let's say Thea would be short for Dorothea. Would that sway your opinion on which name is better? "And by the way, dearie, your punctuation sucks canal water!"

Summer by a long shotactually, I could picture a Thea with a granddaughter named Summer lol but Summer is wayyyyyy happier and friendlier! Plus, I have a cousin named Summer!

TheaI like both, so I choose Thea just because it would sound better with my last name. Dorothea, nn Thea, changes my mind. I ordinarily like Dorothea, Dorothy, and Theodora, but they all sound heavily starched, old, and conservative next to happy, easy going Summer. I'm not in the mood for that today.

Either Dorothea or Theodora, though the only Theodora I know goes by Theo. No, I still like Thea infinitely more than Summer.Summer is pretty ludicrous when you think about it.

Yes it would sway my decision. I like Thea on its own but I prefer Summer to Dorothea.

Summer.And I'd prefer it either way. Not a Dorothea /Dorothy fan in the first place and I'd rather see Dorrie than Thea as a nn anyway.

SummerDon't like Thea much. I don't know why but it just sounds ancient.

Yes, if Thea is short for Dorothea, then that completely sways my opinion. I love Dorothea.

TheaOoh, I don't know. I think I'd go for Dorothea nn Thea, although I'd prefer Theodora as the full name. I'm not a big fan of summer the season, so I'd rather go with Thea. I love Theia too so it makes sense.
