I think it’s ok but wouldn’t name my child Dotty if my niece was called Ottie. Ottie Deyes and Dotty O’Connor Deyes lol.
Yeah not that I overly like either name but I could totally understand if they said 'baby Maeve Dorothy but to us she is Dotty' as you say she doesn't use Emma so it's more in keeping with that tradition.I like Dotty, although as a nickname not full name. Maybe they will actually call her Maeve? As Poppy goes by her middle name, her first name is actually Emma
Oooh I have so many questions
First though I just want to get in early and predict that Ottie and Novie will have cousins name Dotty and Jovie
They clearly never want to marry because the ball ache of that little girls birth certificate meaning shes going through life having been born with a different surname also never knew Sean's last name was O'Connor
Also in that family Dianne is Dot, Aunty Dot so yeah ......stupid AF but funny
Well the surname Deyes seems to have some weird kind of clout so I'm not shocked she's hanging on to it.Maybe they’ve planned to both take O’Connor Deyes as a surname if they marry? Good for Poppy for making sure the baby has her name.
Or Jovie Elle DeyesIf Poppy & Sean have another daughter I think they will name her Bonnie Jovie
Deyes O'Connor flows a lot better, IMO.Is it just me who thinks O'Connor Deyes doesn't really work? Maybe I'll get used to it the more I see it
Des O'Connor ?Deyes O'Connor flows a lot better, IMO.
I think Dotty is cute for a young child, but as a grown woman, giving your name as 'Dotty' sounds strange. I agree they should have used Dorothy or Maeve as a 'formal' first name.
I don't think it matters. Dianne is dating Joe. No relation to Poppy at all. For all we know, Dianne may not be in the picture in the future, as they're not married. Why not go with a name you like for your child because your SIL's brother is dating someone who is just called that sometimes? Wouldn't stop me! Esp if that SIL's brother's gf is not my friend or someone close to me - see how far removed she is? lol.Isn't Dianne's nickname Dot as well? I know she isn't directly related to Poppy but there's Dot, Ottie and Dotty.

I think generally this makes sense but they do all spend a lot of time with each otherI don't think it matters. Dianne is dating Joe. No relation to Poppy at all.
