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. :(

this post reminded me of a similar post from a few months ago... i searched for it and you were the poster ;) hehe (http://community.livejournal.com/baby_names/349865.html)

Heh, yeah. My favorite suggestions from that post were later debunked, and since this community recently exploded with new members, I thought I'd ask again and see if I got any new answers. :)

I'm a new member so I went and looked at that post. The only thing I really have to say is that I don't think the song(s) issue will really be one. I've never heard of those songs (I'm 20) so I doubt it would be used as a teasing thing, especially once you add the years it would take your future child to reach middle school or whenever the teasing would start.

Yeah, I'm seventeen, so I figure that those songs will be at least forty years old by the time my future children are old enough to be teased about songs. So, the song thing doesn't worry me (unless a popular band manages to give the name Lola another negative connotation :/).
