I think they're both great! Charming - especially
Edna.
I think
Edna can go without a nickname, but
Eddie isn't bad. However, I think
Dolly is great for
Dolores!
I can picture them both on sweet little girls, young women, and mature women.
One thing about
Dolores... When I see it on it's own,
Dolores Umbridge and the "sorrows" connotations come to mind. But... For some reason, I didn't immediately think those things when I saw "
Edna and
Dolores." I think it's a great combo for sisters, they complement each other well. (PS: I still like Dolors despite those connections, it's still a beautiful name!)
Hmm, Combos...
I think
Edna would sound nice with something that doens't end in a, and maybe a virtue name.
Edna SuzanneEdna LouiseEdna ****-anne (Suz,
Rose, Jul, etc. Any name ending in -anne would be nice)
Edna JuneEdna EveEdna PearlEdna RuthEdna JeanEdna PatienceEdna Serene
As for
Dolores... I think something ending in a would sound nice.
Dolores AlbertaDolores AlbertinaDolores Albertine (for some reason I'm liking these
Albert- ones with this)
I'm sure there are tons more to go with
Dolores... But it's late and my brain shut down after that one! I'm thinking a name with more than two syllables, and either an -a ending or an -e ending would be nice.
