Dolores/Lola - pain
Soledad - loneliness
Elvira - fair
Perdita - lost

Dolores does mean sorrow, but it's a reference to the Virgin Mary, so the name does not traditionally have connotations of sadness. Ditto soledad, which actually means solitude, and also refers to Mary.

@insancerre
Thanks for the explanation of why Marian could be considering dark and gothic. I've never heard of that song.
Being Irish means, Marian, to me, will always be a middle aged woman in comfortable, but good quality clothes who is married to an accountant or a solicitor.

I was desperate to call a DD Lilith but we'll, 3 boys had a veto from silly husband who thought it was too dark.

Also love Raven. DS goes to school with the blondest little girl called Raven who super shy and quiet, but I reckon just wait til she's a teen.... Also The 100

@ScrollingLeaves

“DeadButDelicious My tastes run dark, so it stood to reason that my choice in names would go that way too, we chose something that was fairly uncommon, had a slightly spooky connection (not at all obvious to anyone but us to be honest) but still a perfectly nice name for a little girl and a grown woman. I was under absolutely no illusions that she may like pink and unicorns and Princesses and lo and behold she does! Just like I did when I was her age. I didn't swan out of the womb in black lace and pikes. That's not quite how it works.”

This reminds me of a wonderful sight some years back in East Germany: an utterly fierce looking Goth couple dressed head to toe in black, while between them, holding their hands, was a pink, petticoated and beribboned little girl of about five!

Oh I love that! Smile

@TatianaBis

Modern Greek Ek aar tee, Ancient Greek Hek aar tay.
R? There’s no r in Hecate. That’s ridiculous.

Do you mean -ah?

Anyway it’s pronounced with a short a as in Apple not ah like what you would say at the dentist. And certainly not arrr like a pirate. There’s absolutely no r in it.
