What are your thoughts?

Makes me think of this brand of butter.

You can change your vote - just click in the other option. It’s not set in stone.

Teen girls ime often make up nicknames for each other, some cute some funny and some v random. Personally I think lolo is cute if her bestie is calling her that, but does your dd like it op?

If she doesn't then she asks bestie to stop using it, if she does then all good!

Nicknames are spoken and to call a little girl by a widely used slightly vulgar name meaning sexually attractive, is very questionable

I think Lolo is a cute name for a baby and I can see teenage girls being called that by their friends. So if her BFF calls her that - then isn't that already her nickname ? I'm pronouncing it low-low.

I think Lol-lol sounds pretty silly though .

That makes no sense.

as another poster said, it's a diminutive not a nick name . A nick name is like bunny (energiser) or pumpkin,

lolo sounds daft. I prefer Charlie to Lottie

@Bookishnerd

your choice can be easily swapped over as long as the voting is still on. Just choose the other option.

It sound like an inflatable mattress.

If the OP's high school aged daughter is so desperate for a diminutive because "everyone else has one" - what's wrong with "Charlie", "Lola" or "Lottie"?

"Lolo" sounds like a toddler who can't say her name properly yet.

Nicknames often evolve and she won't have much control over that.

It might start out as "Lolo", then evolve to "Low-Low"

then "Marge", then "Mardy-pants" etc.

Haven't rtft so sorry if it's been mentioned, but all I can think of is Lolo Ferrari, the woman with the absolutely huge breasts from Eurotrash.

If her bestie calls her Lolo and she likes it, then she can settle on that. A nickname doesn't have to be a version of her full name. Other kids will gradually pick up on it. Why are people making such a fuss about it? As to other connotations about the name - so what? It's HER name regardless of anyone else's opinion. If we all rejected names because of certain other connections, there would probabably be very few names to chose from. Good luck to her.

That’s made me think of LuLu which is easier to say than lolo.

"Everyone"? I seriously doubt that.

Lolo is awful as others gave said immediately made me think if Lolo Ferrari and euro trash, I think she had the biggest boobs in the world or something and I think she had a tragic death

@PearlFawn so why didn't you write it with a capital letter?

Lolo is a stupid bloody nickname.

Has anyone mentioned 'sometimes' as a nickname yet?

Then surely she can choose her own?

Don't like it, sounds too much like looko sp, ie, crazy, or short for Lolita. It's far too unserious.

My name is Charlotte.. I’d have been livid if I got called Lolo sorry!

Family called me Lottie (still do).. some friends and partner Charlie or Charlotte.

It sounds as if it’s short for Lolita which was a disturbing story about a pervert and a young girl.

I think Nabokov probably chose that name as it sounded like she was sone kind of plaything ( or lollipop?!) . But even if he didn’t, it does.

To top it off, for some reason my breastfed cousin would cry “ lolo” whenever she wanted to breastfeed, and it was basically her word for boob. We all found it hilarious as a name for breasts and it kind of caught on ( maybe because it brings to mind lilos and inflatables generally?) so it’s a big no from me.

Oh really!? Perhaps this is where my little cousin got the lolo for boobs from!!

Ok so this thread has been revelatory for me. I’ve now discovered a famously big-boobed lady was called Lolo, and also that it is French slang for breasts.

This all leads me to the somewhat disturbing conclusion that what we thought was a sweet and funny quirk of my little cousin was in fact just a very young child repeating what she had been told was the name for breasts. I blame my uncle…

It's cringey

Don't ever go to France if the name Lolo sticks....
