Looks like Scots Gaelic. Googling gets an obituary for a 91-yr-old Dollag from the Outer Hebrides - so it's been around for at least 91 years - and this link to a TV programme on BBC Alba:

seems to translate it as 'doll' The 'ag' part seems to indicate a diminutive, like Morag, so I'm guessing it's a Scots Gaelic form of Dolly. Could be wrong though.:)

Well, it's female since she's the grandmother and the family was from Scotland. No other info unfortunately.

Ralph Thomas - Are they naming a 70 year old man? Plus it is another word for upchuck. Sorry but I hate Ralph.
Reuben - I have never liked this name
Rhys - I like this - handsome & sophisticated
Riley George - nice. George adds a nice classic touch to it.
Riley James - such a nice combo
Rio Niven - nmsaa but Kai & Rio work well as brothers
Rogan William - not a fan of Rogan; I want to say Roger, then I think of Seth Rogan
Ronan John - not the best flow but both good names
Rory Louis Harald - not bad but just Rory Louis flows better & I prefer Harold
Rufus Harry Roark - sounds pretty good but wonder how it sounds with surname. Not a fan of Rufus though. Makes me think of a dog
Rufus Simon Frederick - this doesn't flow but Simon Frederick would be nice
Ryan William - bit boring but not bad
Ryley Aaron Paul - sounds pretty good but much prefer Riley
