Re: Beautiful or cutesy?
But a lot of attributes of the Virgin are used as names, Immacolata, Assunta, Annunziata, Addolorata or even Regina.“Someone once said that it wasn’t so hard to do right; what was hard was to know what was right to do.” William X. Kienzle

Thanks for that! I'm particularly astonished by Addolorata.
That’s one that was never very common (though it’s the equivalent of Dolores), these names have mostly fallen out of use as people have become less religious.
