I'm actually surprised you haven't listed just "Dot," since that's the common term for Dorchester. Michael, I guess that's the answer to your question - Dot Ave comes from "Dot," the affectionate name for Dorchester, which, well, has the letters "D," "O" and "T" in it in that order, so I guess that's how the abbreviation evolved.

I actually think that DOT ave is how Dort ave sounds if you say it with a Boston accent.Dort ave is short for Dorchester Ave. Since Bahtonians don't pronounce the ah (r) in cah or bah, Dort comes out sounding like Dot (rymes with fought)
