How about this one then, my grandmother is named Lillemor which is Swedish for "little mother". It was a fairly common name even. People out there naming their kids "little mother".

Do people ever call her Lill or Lilly (phonetically)?

Nah, no nicknames that I'm aware of. Sweden isn't too big on nicknames in general I'd say.
