Kristine Doris... WYO?

So, I'm just trying to think of names, and for a girl this came to me. My middle name is Kristine, and my grandmother and my husbands great grandmothers names were Doris.
Does this flow to you all?
We are still very open to names, so we may go with something different if a girl. And for a boy... Gosh I have no idea yet lol
Thanks ladies!

I like Kristine and I like that you'd be giving your DD your middle name as her first name. I wouldn't choose Doris on my own as a first name, but it's totally fine in the middle name spot and has a nice family connection. Kristine Doris isn't the best flow ever, but it sounds perfectly fine.

I really love when mn's have some family meaning and aren't just "pretty".  I knew a girl named Krista, which might be a nice, modern option to pair with the older doris

Kristine as a FN doesn't really do anything for me, but I like the idea of using Doris as MN!

This name makes me cringe. Only because there was a girl in our high school named Krista and she was such a bully!

It's okay, Kristine and all Chris-/Kris- names seem a little dated to me because they were so overdone in my generation. I think Doris in the MN spot is great.

I actually think I like the flow of Doris Kristine better. Maybe Dori for a NN?

Love Kristine. I'm a Krystine so I'm biased. I don't personally like the name Doris but think it's really cool how you both have family members with that name. So I'd so go for it. 

i'd agree with this.
