"Doris"s in early 1900s?

My maternal gran had a daughter called Doris who was born in 1906.  Sadly she died aged 14 months from tuberculosis meningitis.

I haven't read all the replies so hopefully this hasn't already been posted. 

This is an interesting site where people comment on names, you can also put your name at the top search box and find out lots you probably didn't know about your own name with different categories.

That site is interesting. Thanks Bee.

My mother, born 1924 in Austria was named Doris, so it has been interesting to read about famous people of that name who probably led to the popularity at that time.

Now here is another one for all you clever chatters: (please,) what might have promoted the use of the Greek origin Selina in 1817 ??
