[Opinions] Re: Dolores
So Dolores is an old lady name in Mexico, too? That's odd, because in my Spanish textbooks we frequently read about characters named Dolores. I assumed it was still popular in Latin America.
FWIW, while the name has a negative meaning in Spanish, it means nothing in English, so most English-speakers don't think of Dolores being a depressing name.
Heh. Lola is a slutty name in Mexico? Good to know.

Most textbooks tend to use old fashioned names, like textbooks about England use John and Jane, which are hardly used today. I mean, a textbook teaching German children how to speak English wouldn't use names like Addison.
