What could Lou be short for - girl

[happydadpp]

Other than Louise / Louisa. Lou or Lu, only names i can think of are Tallulah, and Lula, any more possible names that could achieve this shortening? Think it's a bit short on it's own. Thanks

Lorelei
Laura
Laurel
Aluna
Luna

People who think about the Loo connection are not going to tell you. That's what these forums are for.

I like it and yes I think it work well as a middle or hyphenated.

Anna Lou
Sophie Lou
Lydia Lou

Could be short for
Laurie
Loubna
Lilou
Milou
Raluca

Lou = Loo is ridiculous! Talk about manufacturing problems. My Auntie Lou would sort you right out! 😂

Lisa Lou

My friend is known as Lou, her name is Lorraine.

People who think about the Loo connection are not going to tell you. That's what these forums are for.

You obviously haven't met my family... they were happy enough to tell me that she has dogs name so I can't see them holding back on loo although for some reason looseat has just popped into my head

Well I would never tell the Lou (Louise) I know that her name sounds like loo!

“I never would have made a loo connection”

MN shows you many things about the people we consider grown ups in our society.

So many perfectly common names bring out “ooh, they’ll get bullied “ due to some convoluted pathetic connection someone has drummed up in their head.

Have you all only just noticed lou sounds like loo? Sorry i really don't understand fuss and negativty.

Lou has been the common shorting for louise/louisa for years, its a normal name. I have an aunty lou never once thought her name was funny and she has 6 nephews and 3 nieces all of us are well and truley through the stage when tpilet things were hilarious as either a toddler or a teenager, and weve never ever made the connection. I find it weird that you would, especially the asronishment that seens to being expressed.

Any way Op,

Lucille
Lucy

Lucretia/Lucrezia?
DN is called Lauren and her nn is Lou-Lou (or occasionally Lozza!)

nrft. Louella, Lucille, Louanne, Aloyisia

Hmm, does nobody think that Lavender or Lavinia sound a bit like lav.

Lourdes.

MikeUniformMike Of course , I've a school story about a girl called Lav short for Lavinia. Her friends nick name her Vinnie instead.

I know a Lavinia.

I think Lav is better than Loo! But neither are great sounding nicknames.

Lou = Louise, Louisa, Louella (I like Louisa the best)

Lu = Lucy, Lucia, Lucille, Lucinda, Lucasta

Luanne (if you watch Real Housewives)

As an aside, years ago (in the 80s) my cousin had a friend called Louise and her nickname was Boggy
