Help[Opinions] Dolores
Since my sister has accquired two finches, now named Fitzpatrick and Dolores, I've been thinking about this name. I adore Doris, but Dolores always sounded sad to me. But associating it with an adorable little bird (who "has a necklace"--the little black line above her white breast is the easiest way to tell her apart from Fitzpatrick) has definitely improved it in my mind. Rather than thinking of Our Lady of Sorrows, I'm picturing a classy lady in a tea dress and pearls. :) (And I'm humming "Dolores, I live in fear. My love for you is so strong that I feel that I will disappear." How romantic is that, ha?)
Does Dolores work in this day and age? With the nickname Dolly, even? I'd never use Lola, or (heaven forbid) Lolita. And what of Doris--am I alone in loving names that end in -is, like Doris, Avis, Mavis, Elvis, Damaris, Dennis, Janis, Jarvis, Phyllis, Tanis, etc? Their terminally dated sound is part of the appeal for me. Do you prefer Dolores or Doris? And finally, do you have anything exciting to share with me? :D

Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let all the children boogie
