Lola

I'm not pregnant, TTC, etc - this is purely for future reference...

What could Lola be a nickname for? I think it's a gorgeous name, but I feel like it needs to be a nickname for something more serious and/or professional. I know that it's traditionally short for Dolores, but that name doesn't appeal to my senses at all. Any thoughts?

Also, do y'all think it would be weird for a child not of Hispanic descent to be named Lola? Every Lola I've ever known of has been partially Hispanic, and I am most certainly not. :(

My cousin's wife's name is Laura and she goes by Lo, surely if Laura can be shortened to Lo, it can be shortened to Lola. Then again I also knew a girl in high school whose name was Laura and she went by Lollie.
