What do you think of Dolores? Could it make a comeback?
I think it has potential. It has this no-nonsense vibe and is very different from frilly names like Isabella, Arabella or Liliana.
It comes with lots of nicknames: Lola, Lo, Dolly, Lora, Lori.
And I find it somehow glamourous.

Not a fan. Can't get past the "sorrow" meaning.

While I don’t enjoy the meaning, I very much enjoy the sound and look of Dolores. I think it has a lot of gravitas.

Love it
The name means "sorrows." SORROWS! You can't beat that. And the name sounds ponderous, too! Just marvelous.

I'm sure I'm not making this up, but there used to be a very starchy radio station, mostly classical music, readings from novels, educational talks about neutral topics etc, here in South Africa, and there were two sisters (literal I believe, not Catholic) who used to sometimes present a music programme and were named, respectively, Dolores and Felicitas.

I have been looking at Dolores with fresh eyes lately and I rather like it. It has a type of old Hollywood glamor about it. The "sorrow" part of its meaning almost feels poetic and romantic in a way. And then, on the flip side, it actually has some fun sounding nicknames. I think it has potential.

Not a fan, can’t get past the “dolour “ /sorrow aspect.
