DH loves the idea of calling our little girl Lolo. His favorite full name so far is Shiloh -- I'm not convinced that I LOVE that one though. What are some other names names that lead nicely to the nn Lolo. Thanks for your help! :)

Hmm, isn't that a slightly odd way to pick a name? Choosing the nickname first?

Such is the nature of nicknames, she could be called Jane and still have Lolo as a pet name. My daughter's pet names have no resemblance to her real name Smile

Lolo? As in Ferrari? As in euro trash? Use it as a fun pet name but not a nn.

haha at "a slightly odd way to pick a name." I suppose it is odd. I have just found out I am 6 weeks along with my first really early to be thinking of names --I am just having fun and brainstorming.

Lorraine, Lorna, Lorena...

EmpressOfTheSevenOceans · 05/04/2012 01:27

Lolo Ferrari here too. Would your DH consider swapping to Lolly as a nickname?

And no to Lolita.

o my... well I am actually from the US and had never heard of Lolo Ferrari... I just looked her up on google --- oh my! The only Lolo I had ever heard of is Lolo Jones a US olympian hurdler. I don't think we will have much of a problem with people thinking of Lolo Ferrari. No matter, I am looking for names that have a "low" sound in them. I like the suggestions of Rollo, Lorna and Louise... maybe Eloise?

and Sarahluv - Nope, both DH and I are sticks... our girl has NO chance of being busty.

Eloise is a lovely name that can be shortened to lots of different nicknames.

OrchidBreeze · 05/04/2012 01:55

OrchidBreeze When I saw the thread title, I immediately thought of Lolo Jones :) (I'm in the UK, btw) I just Wiki'd her, her real name is Lori, would that work?

LemonTurd · 05/04/2012 02:13

Barack Obama's stepfather was called Lolo. Wikipedia is a mine of information!

Zhx3 · 05/04/2012 02:25

Loretta?

LemonTurd · 05/04/2012 02:25

Lois
Lottie/Lotta
Luella
Loni
Luann
Logan (could work for a girl?)

welovesausagedogs · 05/04/2012 09:38

Lois

mrsbugsywugsy · 05/04/2012 11:57

Dolores?

But sorry, Lolo also makes me think of Lolo Ferrari!

doctordwt · 05/04/2012 13:47

Lowri (prn. Low-ree, low as in low down)

bagelmonkey · 05/04/2012 14:24

Is Rollo a girls name too? I only ever met a boy called Rollo and King Rollo of course, but I've never met him, obviously

PercyFilth · 05/04/2012 16:59

Yes, first thought was definitely Lolo Ferrari, poor girl.

OP, does your husband realise that Lolo is French for boobs, knockers, etc?
