It’s Five-Name Friday! Here’s today’s baby name request:
My late grandma’s name was Delores, and we’d like to honor her in naming our daughter, but “Delores” isn’t really our style. What else can we use?
Can you come up with five solid baby name suggestions for this person?
Here are the rules:
- Be independent. Choose your five names before looking at anyone else’s comment.
- Be sincere. Stick to legit recommendations you would offer a real-life friend.
- Five names total in your comment. If you go over, I will delete the extras.
Which five baby names are you going to suggest?
Lola
Loretta
Elora
Della
Adele
Perhaps “Delores” can be used as a 2nd or 3rd middle name. Also, what was your Grandmother’s middle name? Would the name “Lori”/ “Laurie” remind you of Delores?
