I have a daughter called Tabitha Joan, Joan is after my mum, and we want to use my mother in laws name, Dolores, as our second daughters middle name. We played around with naming her Dolly, but that feels like a large expectation to put on a child. The other names we like are
Genevieve
Verity
Nellie
Philippa
Florence
What are your thoughts on these names? What other names would you suggest? Thank you in advance!
Edits were for typos
I really like all of your options! I think [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f], [name_f]Philippa[/name_f], and [name_u]Florence[/name_u] sound especially nice with [name_f]Tabitha[/name_f]. [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] [name_f]Dolores[/name_f] and [name_f]Philippa[/name_f] [name_f]Dolores[/name_f] are great. [name_u]Florence[/name_u] [name_f]Dolores[/name_f] is a little rhyme-y, though, so maybe [name_u]Florence[/name_u] [name_f]Dolly[/name_f]?
Other names I would suggest…
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f]
[name_u]Vivian[/name_u] / [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f]
[name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucille[/name_f]
[name_f]Julienne[/name_f]
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f]
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f]
I love all of these, especially [name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f], [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] and [name_f]Julienne[/name_f]! [name_u]Florence[/name_u] [name_f]Dolly[/name_f] is also beautiful! I wish I could use [name_f]Matilda[/name_f], but its my nieces name and we see her quite a lot. [name_f]Violet[/name_f] is my sisters middle name so that could also be really cute to use!
[name_f]Tabitha[/name_f] is so sweet!!
I love the idea of [name_u]Florence[/name_u] [name_f]Delores[/name_f] and [name_f]Phillipa[/name_f] Delores!!
With [name_f]Tabitha[/name_f], I’ll also suggest:
[name_f]Eliza[/name_f] [name_f]Delores[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] [name_f]Delores[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Delores[/name_f]
[name_f]Annabel[/name_f] [name_f]Delores[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] [name_f]Delores[/name_f]
[name_f]Ginevra[/name_f] [name_f]Delores[/name_f]
[name_f]Clarice[/name_f] [name_f]Delores[/name_f]
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f] [name_f]Delores[/name_f]
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Delores[/name_f]
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_f]Delores[/name_f]
Florence Dolly & Genevieve Dolores are my favorites on your list

I love your idea of [name_f]Nellie[/name_f]. It goes perfectly with sister [name_f]Tabitha[/name_f], and sounds nice with [name_f]Dolores[/name_f].
I think the names from your list that pair best with [name_f]Tabitha[/name_f] are [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f], [name_f]Philippa[/name_f], & [name_u]Florence[/name_u].
[name_u]Florence[/name_u] would probably be my favourite of those, except that I’m not sure if it sounds great with [name_f]Dolores[/name_f] - too many "o"s? [name_f]Philippa[/name_f] [name_f]Dolores[/name_f] works better.
I agree with you about avoiding [name_f]Dolly[/name_f] as a first name - too much like a doll.
For other options derived from [name_f]Dolores[/name_f], how about [name_f]Lola[/name_f]? It’s a Spanish nickname for [name_f]Dolores[/name_f], and I think [name_f]Lola[/name_f] [name_u]Florence[/name_u] or [name_f]Lola[/name_f] [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] would sound lovely with [name_f]Tabitha[/name_f] [name_u]Joan[/name_u]! 
I like all your names, especially [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] and [name_u]Florence[/name_u]
[name_f]Rosalie[/name_f]

[name_f]Gwyneth[/name_f]
[name_f]Vera[/name_f]
[name_f]Bonnie[/name_f]
[name_u]Florence[/name_u] gets my vote, then [name_f]Verity[/name_f]. I think [name_u]Florence[/name_u] is a beautiful, mellifluous name and suits [name_f]Tabitha[/name_f] so well and [name_f]Verity[/name_f], whilst not an absolute favourite of mine, is stylistically perfect alongside the lovely, underused [name_f]Tabitha[/name_f].
Some other names I love with [name_f]Tabitha[/name_f] are:
[name_f]Paloma[/name_f]
[name_f]Viola[/name_f]

I like [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] [name_f]Dolores[/name_f] and [name_u]Florence[/name_u] [name_f]Dolores[/name_f]! I think those fit nicely together and flow with [name_f]Tabitha[/name_f].

I love the honor middle names! [name_f]Dolores[/name_f] might be a mouthful with these names but I think with 3 syllable [name_f]Tabitha[/name_f] you should pick another 3 syllable name. I love the suggestion of [name_f]Lola[/name_f] or maybe [name_f]Doris[/name_f].

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there.
[name_f]Tabitha[/name_f] [name_u]Joan[/name_u] is so cute! Here are my thoughts on your list:
Genevieve-I think that [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] [name_f]Dolores[/name_f] looks & sounds very nice. [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] is not my personal favorite, but I can’t pinpoint why. But it’s a perfectly nice name & it goes well w/Tabitha. It’s well known but not too common & has cute nns if you’re into those.
Verity-This is fine, but it’s not my favorite. Not sure why.
Nellie-I love love love [name_f]Nellie[/name_f]. It’s better as a nn in my opinion, but I love it enough either way. It’s good as a nn for [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f], [name_f]Eleanora[/name_f], [name_f]Ellen[/name_f], [name_f]Cornelia[/name_f] or [name_f]Penelope[/name_f].
Philippa-I like this name more in theory than actually saying it, because I never know where to put the emphasis. PHIL-ippa or Phil-LIP-uh? Either way, it’s a nice choice that goes really well w/Tabitha & [name_f]Pippa[/name_f] is adorable.
Florence-This name is a bit stuffy for my tastes, but it’s not unpleasant. I love the nn [name_f]Flora[/name_f]. [name_u]Florence[/name_u] [name_f]Dolores[/name_f] isn’t the best flow.
