Lola

[ouronlylight.livejournal.com]

So, one of my favorite girls' names is Lola; however, I feel that it lacks the maturity and sophistication that a grown woman would need when in the workforce, etc., so I'd prefer that it be a nickname for something else. I really can't stand Dolores, which it's normally short for, and while I like Lourdes, I don't love it, and I'm definitely seeing pronunciation/spelling problems with it.

So, I thought I'd make a poll and see what y'all think. From what I understand, Lola is derived from the lo in Dolores (which would explain how Lola could be a nickname for Lourdes), so I did a search for all names with lo in them and picked a few.

I never saw how Lola comes from Lourdes, but in a book I read as a child there was a Lola living in Australia and her original name was Lorelei :)
