Doris...reminds me of Doris Day, yes. I admit I've not put very much thought into this name, but it is charming. Looking through your combos I've noticed that Doris sounds so beautiful and correct in combination with Greek names. They really bring Doris out of her shell.

Doris Althea (Althea = healing)
Doris Annabel
Doris Anthea (Anthea = flower, blossom)

You know, I can see Dorothy and Doris getting rediscovered at some point, but not too soon, like maybe in 15 or 20 years. You may be ahead of your time.

I'm not crazy about either name, but I don't mind them, and would actually like to see either on a baby.

---

I like Doris Viola.

---

It's a grandma name... literally... my grandma and my grandpa's sister were both named Doris... and would prob'ly be in their 80s now if they were still alive... like others named Doris... Don't think I've ever met one under 60 and haven't met any recently. Doesn't grab me... A friend of mine at uni's parents took her grandmothers' names (Mildred and Ann) and stuck them together to make her name and she would up being Milann... much more attractive than Mildred on a young gal imo... If I took my grandmothers and put them together (Doris and Patricia), I'd wind up with Doricia... and I think the prn. of that i in the middle would have to be changed to ee to sound ok.

Pffft dated? Nah, I don't think so. I think Doris is darling.

You need something that brings out Doris's charm- Doris Maybelle fits the bill well, I think.

---

Other ones that stand out to me- Doris Clementine, Doris Jemima, Doris Luella, Doris Mathilde, and Doris Olivia. Although you have so many great combos, it's hard to choose.

Sounds too much like Doris Day or an old lady.

---

Dorothy would be a little better.

I prefer Dorothy but I agree my fave from your list is Doris Emily. Too cute.

Doris is an old lady name imo
its reallllly dated
my grandmas name id Doris Anne
