Dolores
Replies
It's not that I dislike Dolores, it's just that I really dislike the meaning, "sorrows." Dolly is a traditional nn for Dorothy and Dorothea. Lola, I don't know.
BTW, I once knew a lady at church named Dolores. I was writing her name one day and asked her if it was spelled Dol or Del (which I've seen too). She replied that it didn't matter. Huh? How can it not matter? Apparently, she wasn't sure how it was spelled on the bc. Weird.

Id go with Dorothy or Dorothea personally
Oh I like Dolly and love Lola. I think Lola works very well on its own. It's used as a full name as well in Spanish speaking countries.
I do like Dolores, but you could also go with:
Dorothy (Dolly)
Doris (Dolly)
Daria (Dolly) - a character in one of my favorite books is Daria nn Dolly
Dalia, Dahlia nn Dolly
Dorothea or Dorothée nn Dolly
Dora nn Dolly
Lourdes nn Lola
Loren nn Lola
I really prefer Lola on its own. For Dolly I like Dolores, Dorothy, Dahlia and Daria.
