Please help me with nicknames!

My DH is insistent that he is going to use a nickname for our child. Since I seem to be losing this battle, I would at least like to come up with a nickname I would be okay with. These are the two names we are thinking of using if we have a girl and some nicknames that might fit well. What do you think about them? Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

LORELEI - Lore, Leila, Lola. (DH likes Lori or Lora)
JULIANA - Jules, Ana, or Ju Ju (just for a little kid - I like the "It's a Wonderful Life Reference"). (DH likes Julie).

for Lorelei you could use Rory.

for Juliana you could use Jule (like Jewel)

I think using a regular, established name as a nickname defeats the entire purpose of a nickname (i.e. Rory, Julia).

for Lorelei:
- Lo
- Lor
- Lori (even though this is already a proper name, it makes more sense, imo, than Rory.)
- Lulu (I agree that this one is really cute)
- Leelee

for Juliana (which is a really pretty name, btw):
- Jules
- Jo
- Julie
- Ana
- Leelee could work for this one, too.
