[Opinions] Re: Edna and Dolores
in reply to a message by Array
I think they're both great! Charming - especially Edna.
I think Edna can go without a nickname, but Eddie isn't bad. However, I think Dolly is great for Dolores!
I can picture them both on sweet little girls, young women, and mature women.
One thing about Dolores... When I see it on it's own, Dolores Umbridge and the "sorrows" connotations come to mind. But... For some reason, I didn't immediately think those things when I saw "Edna and Dolores." I think it's a great combo for sisters, they complement each other well. (PS: I still like Dolors despite those connections, it's still a beautiful name!)
Hmm, Combos...
I think Edna would sound nice with something that doens't end in a, and maybe a virtue name.
Edna Suzanne
Edna Louise
Edna ****-anne (Suz, Rose, Jul, etc. Any name ending in -anne would be nice)
Edna June
Edna Eve
Edna Pearl
Edna Ruth
Edna Jean
Edna Patience
Edna Serene
As for Dolores... I think something ending in a would sound nice.
Dolores Alberta
Dolores Albertina
Dolores Albertine (for some reason I'm liking these Albert- ones with this)
I'm sure there are tons more to go with Dolores... But it's late and my brain shut down after that one! I'm thinking a name with more than two syllables, and either an -a ending or an -e ending would be nice.
