Lola?

lhuttlinger

do you think this name would age well? I'm trying to imagine my future dd filling out job applications and i don't know if it's too old fashioned or just cute on a little kid. thoughts?

That is my cats name, but I really like it

kpadilla80

what does DD mean?

i think now a days names are so different and unique that what experience and schooling would matter on her resume rather than a name (is that naive sounding!?)

  i think its cuuuute tho

See "Lola" by The Kinks before even thinking about naming your child this.

DD = darling daughter

And yes, it's a little naive- people make snap judgements based on first impressions and they always will. Your name has a lot to do with this.

That being said, I like Lola, but definitely don't think it ages well, particularly  for the 20s-40s. I see it as a little girl, and then straight to Grandma Lola.

Not a fan of Lola.  I have only heard it as a dog's name.  But my DH's grandmothers name is Luella, and I think that is really pretty.  Her nn is Lu but you could do Lulu if you wanted.  Just an extra suggestion!  GL!

I know a dog named Lola, and a woman (who is probably around 40) named Lola. I don't like it for either, sorry!

I think it is cute for a girl ages 5-7. Other than that... no.

I could see Lola being a great artist!  Corporate attorney she is not...

i like the name lola, however, i don't think many girls/women could pull it off/do it justice.

i think a girl needs to have a certain look to go with a name like lola - basically, nothing less than gorgeous with dark features.

I think Lola is cute, but probably prefer it as a nickname. As a stand alone name, it reminds me of Lolita and sounds a little low-class to me.

I've heard it as a nn for Lourdes, which is pretty.

There's a glossary on the left side - it will help you out a lot!  (Of course, not everything is there)

 

As for Lola..."her name was Lola, she was a showgirl" 
NOT going to age well.

It seems more like a nn to me.  I can't see myself voting for President Lola

This.  You could always name her something else and give her Lola as a nickname.

I love the name Lola.  I think it's adorable!

I don't see a problem with it. It used to be a nick name for Delores, but I think it's come to stand on its own.

Lola was my old cat's name.   Love it for a pet name not so much for a little girl.

solnyshko79

I LOVE this name. LOVE IT. would be my first choice, but DH says no way. He thinks it is a stripper name I think it is cute, funky and girly.

TDSin2009

I'm partial to the name because my 4-legged baby girl is named Lola!  (in siggy!)

However, I do have an aunt named Dolores and Lola is a nickname for that name so we grew up calling her Lola.

IMO, I love it as a nickname for a person, but not so much as a stand-alone name. 

Good luck!
