It does sound a bit old-ladyish to me, but could I interest you in Dolorosa? It's basically the same name, but I think it's the latin form (Via Dolorosa) and I've really been loving it lately. It's so hauntingly beautiful. However, it does seem a bit tragic-dramatic to me, so maybe it would be better as a middle name. If you do use it, the Spanish pron. ("do-LOR-res") is so much prettier than the way I've generally heard it pron. here in the U.S. "duh-LOR-is." Ick. I guess that pron. is often spelled Delores or Deloris, which to me is much more old-ladyish.

Hmmm... Dola might be a cute nickname, as I'm not a Lola fan at all. Or Lori. Or Lor or Lores. Or Rosa for Dolorosa.
