It's funny. I adore
Thea and you'd think I'd automatically prefer
Dorothea yet there's something about
Theodora that flows better to my way of thinking. It seems less clunky. Mind you, I like
Dorothea very much so I'm not saying it's a bad name at all. I suppose
Theodora seems more chic and
Dorothea seems a little more staid.
ETA the main reason why I prefer
Theodora. It just hit me.
Dorothy has always seems dated and dull to me and when I hear
Dorothea, it's like hearing
Dorothy until the very last syllable. IOW, I don't really care for it until the very end. With
Theodora, it's melodic all the way. :-)
