nickname for Lorelei
I like the name Lorelei but I'm stuck on a nickname (i think on a young girl it definitely needs something a bit shorter). I don't like Lora because its already a common name by itself and the same with Lori. I'm liking Lulu but is it too much of a stretch?
Also what do you think of sisters Matilda (Tilly) Rosemary (Rose) and Lorelei (Lulu?)?

Lo, Lola, Lore, Leia, Lei, Leili?
Lulu is cute, and I don't think it's too much of a stretch (although it is a bit of a stretch).I don't think Lorelei really goes with Matilda and Rosemary though, it's too smooth and watery and Matilda and Rosemary are more old-fashioned and dusty.

Lulu seems like too much of a stretch. How about Rory, Rori, or Rorie? Or maybe Lorel (pronounced like Laurel)?

I dislike Lulu in general so I personally wouldn't use it.
I like Matilda, dislike Rosemary though and I can't help but think that Lorelei is the odd one out because it more unusual/modern.

I like Lorelei nn Rory like from Gilmore Girls. I guess you could make it Rorie to make the spelling more feminine (like Billy vs Billie?). I feel like Lulu fits more for a name like Louisa which would actually fit really well in that sibset (Matilda, Rosemary and Louisa? That's sooo cute) but I don't know how fond you are of Louisa. Louise could work just as well and avoid having two -a names but I don't like it as much.

On Gilmore Girls, the Loreleis are called Trix (don't know why), Lor, and Rory. I think Lulu is a stretch, especially since there's no long u sound.

the only one I can think of is Rory.

What about Lee, or Ora? I like Matilda and Rosemary but I dislike Lorelei, and I don't think it goes very well with the others either.
