Has anyone had this problem? My baby has been given a nickname since birth, Lulu, (originally short for Lucy) which has stuck. I never wanted Lucy but no one seems to take it seriously when I want to discuss other names.Im finding it impossible to name her because her father just wont use any other name.

I agree, call your baby what you like. Maybe have lulu/lucy as a middle name.

Custardo - Assume you meant Louise? Lousie sound like a louse!

call your baby what you like.

my dd has lousie as a middle name we call her emmalou (on of her many many nicks, ez, esme...loads.

so the names that have already been suggested here, may do for amiddle name - and you can call her anything you like and add lou

veronicalou
felicitylou
daisylou

see what i mean?

Can't you just keep it as Lulu? It's cute, and different. Especially if you use a 'normal' middle name - Anne or something!

How about Louise, Louisa, Eloise, Lucinda, Lucille, Luella?

You could use Tallulah with Lulu for short
