I met one yesterday short for Dolores, not a name I would have picked but it quite suited her.

Tell him you can't call a child Lollie because one day she will be a grown up.

Spidermama · 08/10/2012 18:09

Lola.

My husband really like the name Lollie but I do not want people to assume it is a shortened version of Louise as have a very bad experience associated with that name. DH said people would not assume it was short for anything but I disagree. I just don;t want to be faced on a regular basis with the question ... is that short for Louise.

One of my DGFs was nicknamed Billy by his SIL (short for Albert) and the other was known as Dick (William?!) so I'm guessing Lollie is short for Kayden... Grin

Louisa.

My dd often gets called Lollylou, or Lolly. Do get some Hmm faces in the park when I use her nn, so feel compelled to then loudly use her real name!

slambang · 08/10/2012 17:38

I know a Lollie. For some unknown reason her loving parents announced that this was the abbreviated version of her full name...

wait for it...

Louise. Dsd1's friend is a Louise known as Lolly. I'd never heard it as a nn before, but quite like it.
