[Opinions] Re: Dolores
in reply to a message by Lily
This is my grandmother's name. :) Well, sort of: she's Rita Dolores nn Dolor. I think if she can get away with Dolor, Lola is definitely usable as a nn! My g'ma is the only Dolores I know, but I think it's family name for a lot of Catholic families.
I have toyed around with using it as a mn on future children to honour her. My favourite combo atm is Sylvie Dolores.
(Boring story: Her actual first name is Rita, although her mother intended for it to be a double fn. But no one has ever called her Rita. She's always been Dolor. However, she has never gotten around to having her name changed, so the new chemist - she's 85, so she's in there a lot - only knows her as Rita on her prescriptions and calls her "Reet" for short. She's too embarrassed to correct him aha. Love her.)
