Make up some nickname to call her until u get used to the name and love the child.
I named my son a name I didn't like and used a cutesy nickname until he started school at age 5. Now I still don't love the name but I love him! He's a teen now and it doesn't matter anymore. Although beware, because my mil insisted on using the full name and not my chosen nickname and refused to use it because she said it wasn't her father's name. I felt like she should understand that my child is not her father! It upset me hugely at the time, but she's disrespectful like that on a lot of things u gotta know your people. |
Hahaha I call my Ayala Lali because I hated the name.
The nickname is only family and friends though because Israelis don't understand it.
She's Ayala Hinda after GMIL. Dunno if fil counts it as if we named after his mother or not but it's the thought that counts. She was Hinda.

I know a Mimi who is Michal.
OP, the first thing I thought of was missy. Then Shula, then shuli. Is there an option to put it together with another name and then use the other name?

I love the name Shulamis! I have the cutest little SIL named Shulamis, she’s really adorable. We call her a bunch of silly nicknames like Lala, etc. My toddler calls her “Mamish” which we all think is hilarious.

I think Shulamis sounds so much prettier with an Israeli pronunciation shoolameet. I love that name but I don’t like shulamis. Can you pronounce it like that?

My cousin is nicknamed Shuli, I love that. I went to highschool with a Shula. Both are pretty standard nicknames.
My niece is nicknamed Shusha or Shushka which are so cute. There is also Shu-Shu or Shushi or Shishi.
You could do Lissy, though it is a bit more farfetched.

Stick with the original name.
May your daughter emulate her grandmother.
It’s a nice name and an honor to have it.
Will there be future cousins who will have that name? How would your daughter feel if her cousins are all called by the grandmothers name but she is called by something different?
If you’re really having a hard time with the name then add another name. Like Bracha, malka, ahuva….

I feel the same way about the name and I didn’t like any nicknames for it but I wanted to honor a relative. In the end I picked a name I liked and named Shulamis as second name and my daughter is called by the name I picked. It made everyone happy

Shuli and shula don't have to be pronounced with a "shoe" sound, it could sound like Ashkenazim said shul, with a softer u
