Gift of God
Originally a diminutive of Dorothy, Dollie shares the same etymological roots meaning 'gift of God'. While it was a top 100 name in the late 19th century, it is now considered a rare vintage gem. It carries a sweet, antique charm similar to other 'ie' ending nicknames of the Victorian era.
