Forgive me if this has been asked before, I don't recall seeing it, but what could Lola be a nick name for?

i think Madonna calls her daughter Lola and she was named Lourdes. not sure what else...

Lolita?

[xxmyfearsmylies.livejournal.com]

The first thing that came to mind was Lolita, but I doubt anyone names their kid that nowadays...

[dustkitty.livejournal.com]

Isn't that backwards? I mean, the "ita" or "ito" suffix is a diminutive; a girl named Lola would be called Lolita as a child.

[ouronlylight.livejournal.com]

Yeah, calling a girl named Lola "Lolita" would be like calling a girl named Elizabeth "Lizzie".

[adamant-turtle.livejournal.com]

Well, in the book, Lolita was just a nn; the girl's name was really Dolores...

[ouronlylight.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I didn't want to be too technical, but in the Elizabeth metaphor, Elizabeth is Dolores, Liz (or Beth) is Lola, and Lizzie (or Bethie) is Lolita.

yup

Viola.. Charlotte.. Lenora.. Elenora... Eloise.. Penelope.. Chole.

Dolores.

Traditionally, Lola is a nickname for the Spanish name Dolores. Considering that the only similarities that the two names have is the 'lo' part, though, I think that anything with 'lo' in it could work.

Carlot(t)a
Charlotte
Consuelo
Dolores
Eloise
Louisa
Louise
Lourdes
Paloma
Penelope
Willow

I think Lindsay Lohan also played a character whose full name was Mary Elizabeth but went by Lola. No idea how that works, though.

[lneef.livejournal.com]

Lolita is a nickname for Lola, not the other way around.

[0o-faerie.livejournal.com]

Lourdes! =)

[waitingonsunday.livejournal.com]

I would love to use Lola as a nickname for Charlotte...if only I could hear the name without thinking

I know what I am
And I'm glad I'm a man
So is Lola
L-O-L-A
Lo-la

Hahaha, I know a girl called Lola, and she's lovely, but all I can do is hum that song when someone says her name!

[kitchen-poet.livejournal.com]
