Help[Opinions] Re: Dolores
in reply to a message by Array
Dolores- I just can't get past the meaning. It looks dolorous, too. Dolly, Lola and Lolita aren't selling points, either- so unless I encounter a character (real or fictional) to counter the grey and painful image I associate with this name- I think it works for pets, but not people. Sorry!
I vastly prefer Doris. Doris, nn Dory or Dot- if only I could persuade my DH! Or Mavis (typing programme? What typing progamme?!), or Phyllis...I hope the fathers of the next generation come around to those names, seeing as the current crop are stick-in-the-muds. LOL.
Their terminally dated sound is part of the appeal for me
Are names ever really terminally dated? Just a rhetorical question... My eldest siblings (born in the sixties) can't believe some of the names we (as in, the siblings born between 1975 and 1980) are considering for our kids. I took a quick peek at your profile- you're about 10 years younger than me- so maybe when the bulk of your generation start have kids a decade from now, maybe Doris and Jarvis will be the new Lucy and Oliver...? Perhaps not Jarvis, but I can certainly see Doris as a comeback name.
