Help[Opinions] Re: Dolores
in reply to a message by riot.grrrl
The other day my cousin who is from the US told me that she wanted to name her daughter this. I couldn't stop laughing becuase this name is not only old ladyish but it has a really bad meaning, how can you name your daughter the worst feeling that a person can feel? My cousin didn't listen to me so I asked on the internet what do people think about this name http://ar.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AvrSWrWWqgsUxPhutHkcvayR.gt.?qid=20070715184716AAlCZwV, only 2 people liked it and the rest hated it. I think this name is ok, Lola is too unformal and slutty. Lolita is ok but I have a hard time trying to see it as a frist name. If you plan on calling her Lola, name her Carlota, Fabiola or 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.
