Reply to: 1930's girl name time! by New_Chloe
Difficult! I'm torn between Ruth, Martha, Dorothy, Jean and Dolores.

Ruth and Martha I find slightly more classic than the rest. I think they're probably the more usable today. Plus I really like them both! Dorothy is because I'm a complete sucker for the nn Dot. I don't even like Dorothy that much, but Dot! Dot! Jean has seriously been growing on me lately. I think it's really cute. I don't think I'd ever use Dolores as a fn because it really is very heavy, but I'd consider honouring my grandmother Rita Dolores "Dolor" by using Dolores in the mn slot (she hates Rita).

Today I might go for Ruth. Ruth Dolores. :)
