This is my grandmother's name. :) Well, sort of: she's
Rita Dolores nn Dolor. I think if she can get away with Dolor,
Lola is definitely usable as a nn! My g'ma is the only
Dolores I know, but I think it's family name for a lot of Catholic families.
I have toyed around with using it as a mn on future children to honour her. My favourite combo atm is
Sylvie Dolores.
(Boring story: Her actual first name is
Rita, although her mother intended for it to be a double fn. But no one has ever called her
Rita. She's always been Dolor. However, she has never gotten around to having her name changed, so the new chemist - she's 85, so she's in there a lot - only knows her as
Rita on her prescriptions and calls her "Reet" for short. She's too embarrassed to correct him aha.
Love her.)
