I don't think it's any worse than Molly, Polly, and Dolly, but then I hate all of those.

I think it’s cute, it reminds me of a Lolly Adefope, who’s a British comedian (her full name’s Ololade). I probably would keep it as a nickname, I’d use Olympia, but I think it’s fun, energetic, and bright

Lolly, lolly, lolly, get your adverbs here...

lol I can't believe nobody's brought that up yet! But anyway...

Lauren
Charlotte
Olivia

I love Lolly. I think it works fine on its own but could be used as a nickname for...

---

Eulalie
Molly / Polly / Holly
Laurel
Olive

Terrible as a full name, cutesy nn for Laura, Lauren, Laurel, Lola, Lolita, Louella, Louellen, Lorelle, Lorelle, Lorelei

Laura, Laurie, Lori, Lorna, Lorraine, possibly Charlotte. Even as a nickname, I can only imagine it on a small child.

It's one of those medieval-looking names that follows the tradition of...

---

Mary --> Molly --> Polly --> LOLLY
Richard --> Rick --> Dick --> Hick
Margaret --> Meg --> Peg
William --> Will --> Bill

There were just too many people named this, so they had to think of creative ways of distiguishing themselves.

Charlotte?

I know a Lauren who goes by Lolly. If I were a Lauren and had to use a nn it would be Loz to be honest. I don’t mind it as a nn but as a full name it’s silly.

Short for Lorraine; I've met one. I think it is remarkably unfortunate.

The two Lolly's I know are both Lauren.

I know of three Lola’s with the nn Lolli/Lolly. They all go by Lola “professionally” The middle aged and primary school aged ones still get called Lolli by family and close friends who’ve known them from childhood. The senior Lola is only called Lolly by her siblings. Yes, it has a babyish/cutesy vibe but they were given the nn when they were babies. Family and childhood friends can’t seem to break the habit.

Babyish. I suppose it could be short for Dolores.

I guess it could be short, (or rather baby-talk) for Laura or Dolores or something.
No, I don't like it, because, well, it sounds like baby talk.
