Help[Opinions] Re: Dolores
in reply to a message by Array
I really like the name Delores. I choose not to think of the "dolor" connection. It has such an elegant, by-gone era charm to it.
While I too like many "-is" names (Mavis, Damaris, Phyllis, Artemis, Glynis, Lois, Iris, Eirlys), I can't find it in my heart to warm up to Doris. Dora, yes, but not Doris. It has a very clunky feeling to it. But since I love seeing almost any name being revived, meeting a little Doris would still tickle me pink. It's the endangered species lover in me, I guess. I don't care for Ethel, but wouldn't it be sweet to be introduced to one? It would be sort of a time machine feeling. Fun.
