I actually find the name pretty, and it doesn't sound out of place in English-speaking countries like Daria sort of does. The name is simply too close to Dorian, which comes from an Oscar Wilde play, and I hate that man.
In Inkdeath, by Cornelia Funke, there is a character called Doria except he is a boy. I really like Doria on a boy. I was shocked when I saw on here that it was a girls name.

Doria Shafiq (1908–1975) was one of the very first women who led to the women's liberation movement in Egypt in the early 1950s. (Could this name be Egyptian?)
