"My grandmother, mother and aunt all had Dolores as their middle names so I was honored to carry it on. I didn't care for it much when I learned it's meaning but I have come to love it. My family and friends call me Doe for short. I will say most people spell it wrong but I've come to expect that." Nov. 8, 2018: 
"My name is Dolores. I think it is a pretty name, and like the idea that so few people have it, as I feel it makes me unique. I prefer the pronounciation, Do.lor.es , and do find most people spell my name incorrectly, even after seeing it spelled ." Jan. 31, 2015:

"My name is Dolores. When I was little I did not like my name because I never heard anyone else with that name. Everyone had a different way of spelling it, still do. My dad said there was a German song they liked, it was called "das macht die Bienen von Dolores". He would say 'you were born with the cute legs'. Such fun folks ❤️Haha. My nickname from my older siblings was Dolie. Sounds fun and friendly. When I met my husband in senior highschool he refused to call me by my nickname. He said Dolores is your birthname and it is a beautiful name. So 33 years later I like my name, it is unique and one of a kind.
The actor Jeremy White and his wife had a baby girl in Dec 2020 and he named her Dolores! Maybe the name will make a come back! 👍" Dec. 27, 2020:

"Its my name and I hate it.My aunt's called me Dodie when I was little.Most people call me Dee.No one ever spells is correctly.Im 73 years old.I hope no one ever calls a child that." Feb. 10, 2018:
"Dolores is my name and I don't like it. Never did. Its meaning, sorrow, is a bummer and it's frequently spelled wrong and almost always pronounced wrong. I go by Dee. It's easier to say and more pleasant. My dad thought it was a pretty name. Sorry dad, you got that one wrong." Oct. 11, 2017:
"i very rarely meet anyone with this name which is my name. i would have preferred a different name and i don't like what it means which is "lady of the sorrows" although it turned out that in fact the name did fit me." May. 30, 2012:
"I was given this name in 1932 at the height of its popularity. I never liked it as much as my middle name, Kathleen! And so many people automatically spell it "Delores" and pronounce it that way, too. My friends and family all call me Dode or Dodie." Oct. 10, 2008:
"Was mainly a Catholic name until Mexican-born U.S. actress Dolores del Rio made it a popular name in 1930s Hollywood. White Americans, I think, used it more often than their Negro counterparts did. Conversely, the variant Delores was, I believe, used more in black U.S. families than in white ones." May. 19, 2008:
