Comments for the name Dolly

This was the name of James Madison's wife, only she spelled it DOLLEY.

"Dolley" Madison's actual name was Dorothea.

Famous bearer of this name is Dolly Parton, a popular country singer. In her case Dolly is not short for anything but is her first given name.

It is the most horrible name for a girl on this earth! Do not name your daughter Dolly. It stinks.

Sounds sweet, but too soft. No thanks, I prefer Dolores.

Great name for sheep.

One of the many nicknames of Dolores Haze (Lolita). Also the little girl in the comic strip Family Circus.

Very great name for a sheep.

Sounds overly-tacky and cheap - thumbs down.

Dolly Levi is the title character of the Broadway musical "Hello Dolly!" She's a lively, independent, romantic and downright charming woman. In 1969, Barbra Streisand played Dolly Levi in the movie adaption.

Darya "Dolly" Schterbatskya was a character in Leo Tolstoy's "Anna Karenina". I think this name is a bad name, but a cute nickname that should stop being used once the child reaches age 8 or so.

You'd have to be a very cool person to pull this off, and the name sounds hopelessly old-fashioned, somewhat infantile, and quite ditzy.

This can also be short for Dolores.

I love Dolly -- not as a given name, but as a nickname for Dorothy! Like Sally, it can be a pleasing surprise.

This name would be quite pretty if it wasn't a type of toy.

My friend's name is Dolores and we call her Dolly. She spells her nickname Doli. Dolly and Doli are pronounced the same.

Dolly was the name of the first cloned sheep and the first clone of an adult animal. The scientists named her after Dolly Parton. After her death, she was stuffed. You can see her in the Scottish National Museum.
