Dolores

原I think this name is actually nice and sophisticated. I had an Aunt Dolores who passed away in September. I like this spelling especially.

原Dolores Abernathy is one of the main characters of the new series, Westworld. I personally love the character (at the end of the first season) and will be interested to see if she has an impact on the popularity of the name. Quote: "I'm not a key, William. I'm just me."

原The name Dolores was given to 33 girls born in the US in 2015.

原Dolores was the stage mononym of Kathleen Rose, English-American Broadway showgirl and celebrity clothing model 1910s-20s. Maybe she is the person who popularized it in the US in the 20s and 30s.

原Dolores Janney "Jenni" Rivera was a Mexican-American singer, songwriter, actress, television producer, and entrepreneur known for her work within the regional Mexican music genre.

原For all those who think Dolores has an awful meaning, try to look at it with perspective. This name is associated with Virgin Mary of the Sorrows (Virgen María de los Dolores or La Dolorosa), and the pain she felt when her son was crucified. When parents give this name to a child, they usually do it in reference of the love Mary felt for her son. It's similar to other Spanish names such as Angustias, Piedad or Amargura.

原Everyone associates this name with Dolores Umbridge. You might as well name your daughter Adolf or Osama.

原I can't bring myself to enjoy this name very much. Not because it has 'dated' trambled all over it but because it is this name of my most hated character in all of the Harry Potter series; Dolores Umbridge. I'd rather cheer on Lord Voldemort than her.

原This is a wonderful name with a pleasing, rhythmic sound. Some names have questionable meanings ("sorrows," "blind," "lame," etc.), but those don't stop them from being beautiful.

原The name Dolores was given to 37 baby girls born in the US in 2012.

原This is such a pretty name, and it has nice religious connotations. I like this and a lot of other Marian names. It's annoying that people these days associate it with Dolores Umbridge, but some silly book shouldn't color someone's perception of a nice name. Besides, it's not as bad as Draco or Bellatrix.

原This is my least favorite name on the planet. It literally means "sorrows". Why would you name your kid that?Sorry, I'm sure there are some really great Doloreses out there, but that's just my opinion.

原Actress Dolores Costello (1903-1979).

原Also used in Croatia.

原Kinda like it, even though it's ugly as hell :/

原The English translation of this name, Dolours (or Dolors in American English), which is an archaic word for "pain" or "sorrow", is occasionally used as a name. It is especially prevalent among Catholic parents because of the association with the Virgin Mary, who has the title "Our Lady of Dolours". In Northern Ireland there was an IRA terrorist called Dolours Price.

原The first time that I ever met a "Delores" (or "Deloris") is my Uncle's girlfriend. She is Italian-American, I believe. She is insanely sweet and lovable, which I suppose rubbed the name right in my book. It is hopelessly old-fashioned, but I would support a comeback.

原I don't really care for this name. First of all, it reminds me of that evil teacher Dolores Umbridge from the Harry Potter books.

原Terrible meaning and it doesn't sound exactly beautiful either.

原On an episode of Seinfeld, Jerry had a girlfriend, but he didn't know her name. He tried to find out without asking her, so he talked about how he got teased about his name, and then asked if she did. She said, "oh yes. Especially since it rhymes with a part of the female anatomy." Dolores rhymes with "clitoris."

原I don't like the fact that this name means "sorrows", and I think it looks weird on an Anglo-American. It sounds better on Hispanic women. No offense.

原First things, I associate this name with frumpy, middle-aged women, especially one who 's sitting in a lawn chair, smoking a cigarette.Second, why would anybody choose to name their daughter for a word that means "pain", "sorrow"? You might as well name your daughters "Tristesse", "Souffrance", "Peine", "Aflicción", "Problema", "Mágoa", "Teanntachd", "Stenokhoria", "Sorge", "Qual", "Leidchen", "Múka", and "Góre".And your sons "Galar", "Alaeth", "Èislean", "Brón" / "Bròn", "Dòrainn", "Kummer", "Sorg", "Żal", and "Trud".The aforementioned words-for-names have come from French, Spanish, Portuguese, Gaelic, Welsh, Greek, German, Polish, and Russian.

原This name is an okay name, but I think for somebody who speaks English as a native language, and isn't of Spanish, Mexican, (or from any other South American country), or Mediterranean extraction, it sounds a little bit too foreign, especially if it is pronounced Do-lo-rez. Do-lo-ris sounds a little bit more English, and refined. :)

原It's a pretty name if you're pronouncing it "Do-lor-es" and not "Do-Lor-ez".

原I have two friends named Dolores. Their nicknames are Dolly and Doky. Dolly spells her nickname Doli, not Dolly but I prefer Dolly.

原Dolores Umbridge is described as looking like a toad, and loves the colour pink. She is a horrible character, so I can never look at the name Dolores without thinking about her - which is a pity, because I think it's actually a really pretty name.

原Many say the name means pain and sorrow and that is certainly part of the meaning but a Latin American friend told me the name is more than that and actually means "compassion". Compassion is a lovely meaning for a name. Too bad there is not more compassion, then there may be less sorrow. As to meanings of names; what does Chrila, Riley and Apple mean?

原I don't really see any redeeming features in this name. The nicknames are tacky and ditzy, the name is old-fashioned and quite ugly, and even the meaning is depressing!

原Stupid spanish name. Reminds me of my depressing old Spanish teacher.

原I don't like the name nor any of its nicknames but Loles, perhaps.

原Also a feminine name in Slovenia.

原This name is ugly. Dolores is an everyday word that people use in Spanish. It's like when you say "I have a lot of pains", it's an everyday word! I had a friend who's middle name is Dolores, she got pregnnant when she was 14, we would always make fun of her saying "ahora si que va tener muchos Dolores" (now she's going to have a lot of pains). Although I have to say I prefer the Basque form of this name Nekane.

原Via Dolorosa is a street in the old city of Jerusalem. In Latin it means "Way of Grief". It is believed to be the street Jesus walked on the way to his crucifixion. It is where he fell three times and where Mary met him. That is why it is associated with the sorrows of Mary. Dolor meaning sorrow, grief, or agony.

原This name is starting to grow on me.However, I don't like when people say it like "Do-LOHR-is", because it sounds ugly that way. I do, however, love the meaning of the name. It's quite pretty, and no, I am not dark-loving and creepy, but I find that a pretty cool meaning for a name.

原My grandmother's name is Dolores. I always have nice thoughts about this name whenever I hear or see it.

原For some reason, I find this name absolutely hideous.

原It means "PAINS" in Spanish.

原Sad meaning, but very pretty name!

原It is too bad that such a beautiful name means sorrow. This name is a bit heavy and matronly for a child, so I think that one of its many nicknames would be suitible until adulthood.
