What do you think of the name Doris?
At first the name seemed a bit outdated to me. However I was recently thinking about this name, and as I thought about it I started to like it.

My paternal grandmother's name was Doris, and DH & I will use it as a middle name if we have a second daughter. (We won't be using it for a first daughter because one of her names will be my maternal grandmother's -- Agnes.) I really like Doris, and the fact that it's basically unheard of these days just makes it that much more appealing to me.

It's sweet -- like Doris Day. :) I grew up with a cousin with this name, and she was nice enough, but she's 15 years older than I am. Her mn is Ann, btw. I prefer Dora, Dorothy and Dorothea, but it's not bad at all. I'd be happy to see a baby named Doris born these days. :)

I've always thought it was a very pretty name. I had a Great Aunt Doris.

I really love Doris. It sounds sunshiney as hell, since I immediately picture the fabulous Doris Day. But then, I just love two-syllable -is names, particularly Doris, Avis, and Maris.

She had fallen against the windows, which were pressed against the windows, which were pressed against the old oak near across the age of the old Aunt Sophronia--was almost dreadful enough to walk on.
A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having.

Oh, I like Mavis, too. It's quite nice.

How cute would it be to be introduced to a little Doris? Who wouldn't melt?
Adorable. She could always go by Dorie as a nn if she didn't like it.

"Outdated" tends to sound "classic" or "formerly-fashionable" to me, and I like it.
