DH looked at me this morning and asked what about [name]Dolores[/name]? At first I shut him down because it means suffering. However after looking at it more its growing on me. But I want to know what you all think of it and any good names that would honor a [name]Dolores[/name]?
Hm…[name]Lola[/name], perhaps? [name]Dora[/name]?
You could just use [name]Dolores[/name]. 
But I think [name]Delilah[/name] would be a nice way of honoring [name]Dolores[/name]. I’m not sure if you were looking for names with the same meaning, or flow or biblical.
I agree that [name]Delilah[/name] would be a good name to honor a [name]Dolores[/name]. It’s definitely close enough, but not too close. I also think [name]Delaney[/name] would be nice if you lean toward more modern names. – [name]Christy[/name] ([name]Margaret[/name])
[name]Dolly[/name]?
Let’s see:
[name]Lorelei[/name]-- [name]Dolores[/name] contains [name]LORE[/name], like [name]Lorelei[/name]
[name]Isadora[/name]-- [name]Dolores[/name] can shorten to [name]Dora[/name]
[name]Dorothy[/name]-- Ditto
[name]Dorothea[/name]-- Ditto
[name]Dorota[/name]-- Ditto
[name]Pandora[/name]-- Ditto
[name]Theodora[/name]-- Ditto
[name]Eudora[/name]-- Ditto
[name]Dortea[/name]-- Ditto
[name]Gwendolen[/name]/[name]Gwendolyn[/name]-- [name]Dolores[/name] can shorten to [name]Dolly[/name], like [name]Gwendolen[/name]/[name]Gwendolyn[/name]
As a sister for [name]Elijah[/name], I think that [name]Gwendolyn[/name] works best…
[name]Delilah[/name] is out because of [name]Samson[/name] and [name]Delilah[/name]. [name]Lola[/name] is a good nickname but sorrow meaning of [name]Dolores[/name] means I’m pretty unlikely to use it. Any other suggestions?
can you give us a better idea of what your style is or what you are looking for?
[name]How[/name] about [name]Dalila[/name]? Different meaning…
Yea i have to agree with you. As pretty as the name sounds, the story behind it, I just can’t get past.
Here are some other options:
[name]Dahlia[/name]
[name]Delia[/name]
[name]Daisy[/name]
[name]Dara[/name]
[name]Leah[/name]
[name]Laura[/name]/[name]Lori[/name]
[name]Dara[/name]
[name]Dalaney[/name]
[name]Dallas[/name]
[name]Darcy[/name]
[name]Daria[/name]
[name]Darla[/name]
[name]Dorothy[/name]
I do like [name]Lorelei[/name]. It has been on and off my lists. My son’s name is [name]Elijah[/name] [name]Michael[/name]. I tend to like Classic Unusual names. Or at least unusual when I fell in love with them. For example I love [name]Chloe[/name] but I hate the idea of her having more than one [name]Chloe[/name] in her class. I guess I like romantic girls names that are also kinda of spunky. Meaning is very important to me as is the names history. Oh and pronunciation and spelling would ideally be fairly obvious.
