My mother had a cousin named Doris. I guess she was around my mother's age, born in the 1920s, when the name was very popular. She must be dead now, though I never actually heard that she had died.

Yeah, I've always thought of it as a horrible old lady's name, too, but maybe it's not so bad. Not that bad when you repeat it over and over and imagine a little girl. A lot of people liked it in the 1920s. It could happen again.
