HelpWhat name would you use for the nn Lulu?
My first option, by far, is Luna.
However I also like Lucretia and Lucille nn Lulu.

I love the name Lulu, that was one of the top names on my list when pregnant with my DD. I would use it as a full name, as it’s perfectly usable to me and I adore the meaning Pearl, as is the case with the Arabic origins. If I had to choose a longer name, then it would be Louisa or Luella I suppose.

Once I had a very elderly colleague whose one and only full name was Lulu. She seemed unmoved by this experience.
I'd use it, if at all (very unlikely), as a nn for Louise. Lucy doesn't need a nn, and it's the name I'd be most likely to use. Lucretia and Lucille don't do it for me, with or without Lulu.

I dislike Lulu, but if I had to choose it I would go for Luana as the full name (loo-AH-na).
Luna nn Lulu works, but it doesn't make too much sense to me for some reason. Maybe because Luna is so short and already spunky sounding, it doesn't really need a nickname. Lulu and Luna don't feel related to me or like they belong together. Same with Lucille because I associate it so much with Lucy. I like Lucille.
Lucretia is too long for me, but Lucretia nn Lulu works well.
I can't really explain why nicknames sometimes work for me or don't. But Luna nn Lulu feels unnatural to me, same with Lucille nn Lulu. But it works for Lucretia, Luisa, Luana.
