It's incredibly common for couples to have pet names for each other that they would never be ok with anyone else using that name for them. It's likely that Tonks' husband is the only person she allows to call her Dora.

I know these people have never had relationships and have a loose grip on reality, but come on, it's so incredibly fucking common.

It's also not even the name that the character objects to! Nymphadora is a weird name as it is, and completely understandable why she wouldn't want to be called that even if she could have other reasons to object. But Dora? It's a very normal sounding name with only a loose association to the original. There's literally no reason to connect the two and get upset because the CHARACTER is ok with it. I mean, unless you're a crazy person...
