One of my childhood friends pronounced it "Door-thee-uh."

This is how my grandmother pronounces it as well.

This is how I (usually) pronounce it.

I usually pronounce it door-uh-thee-uh. I pronounce Dorothy door-uh-thee.

I've heard "Dor-thee-ah" and, in a history of women class, "Dor-uh-tay-uh."

Yes! Same goes for Dutch (and English) =)

I usually say "door-uh-thee-uh" as said above. On the other hand, I work with a Dorothea and she pronounces it like Dorothy.
