Dolores has always been appealing to me. However, I'd probably only use it as a mn, just because, even though we may think it works, I don't think everyone would agree.
Dolly is a nice nn.
Doris is lovely! I've always thought of it as pretty, even though it seems a bit old fashioned! And it's non-popularity makes it more appealing! I think it's lovely.
Their are some -is names that I like-
Doris,
Avis,
Mavis,
Damaris,
Phyllis,
Jarvis, &
Denis, among others. In general, I like them.
I can't decide which I like better-
Dolores or
Doris. Right now, I'll go with
Doris, but I love both.
