How do you feel about the name Lola?

Xmaswedding07 · April 2009

Love it? Hate it? So-so?

katyanne · April 2009

I think it is cute!

tct1219 · April 2009

cute as a nickname but needs to be short for something more formal.

LoveEeyore · April 2009

Love it. DH vetoed it, though.

franciscaz · April 2009

It always reminds me of that song Copacobana... "her name was Lola... she was a showgirl..." But I probably wouldn't use it just b/c it doesn't sound serious in a profesional world. I think it is cute though.

I think that's why I'm loving it! I use to be a showgirl on a cruise ship!!

Really? That makes it pretty cool Smile

If it didn't have 3 negative connotations to me, I'd be ok with it, but when I hear the name it makes me think of"

1. "Her name was Lola, she was a ..."

2. Nabokov's (and this is the one that puts it over the edge as a name I would use)

3. Lalya by Eric Clapton (I know it's not the same name, but it still reminds me of this song)

i think it's cute!!!

Tabuk · April 2009

I LOVE it and would seriously consider it if we had another girl....

lbap · April 2009

I really like it.

Madonna's daughter goes by Lola, but her full name is Lourdes. If you are looking for a more "complete" name, you might consider that or something similar.

jolis_petits_bijoux · April 2009

I love it.

jolis_petits_bijoux · April 2009

I forgot to mention that our girl name was Lorelai, and Lola was going to be her NN.

soccerwife · April 2009

i love it

cathy_and_matt · April 2009

I think it's a great name.

ToBeMrsT · April 2009

love it!

lilygirl · April 2009

I love it! I have a friend named Lauren that goes by Lola.

Another friend named her daughter Lola Cornelia which I loved!

TheNextWest · April 2009

Love it!

I wanted Layla to be named Lola, but there were several celebrity baby Lolas born around the same time, so we compromised and went with Layla.

newportbride715 · April 2009

I don't like it. "Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl..." lol

I do like a lot of similar names though, like Leah, Lena, Lila, Lily, Lilian, Leila, Lorelei, Lauren.

ETA: I don't like it as a full name. As a nn, it's fine.

Emie28 · April 2009

Love it, but dh hates it!

MrsDuncan · April 2009

Really nms... but I knew a very strange woman named Lola once and I can't get over it.

Vixey529 · April 2009

I think it is a cute name, but it very strongly reminds me of Nabokov's "Lolita" (which is quite possibly my favorite novel - but the connotations are a little too provocative for me to consider naming my own daughter that!)

Fall2009Mom · April 2009

It's cute. I think Kelly Ripa named her daughter Lola.

pr_alexander · April 2009

katekates27 · April 2009

I think it's cute ... but a really hard name to grow older with. It sounds very young to me.?

AllThatGlitters101 · April 2009

My puppy is Lola! Supposedly it's the 11th most popular dog name.

sophie080208 · April 2009

It sounds like a stripper's name IMO. Strangely enough I like a lot of very similar sounding names though: Lily, Lucy, Lila, Leah, etc. I think it would be a cute name for a toddler but I can't picture a grownup with this name.

LMS05 · April 2009

NMS at all

I hate to say it, but this is the first thing that came to my mind too.

lwilkinson · April 2009

Like it. MH said no way.

IU_baby · April 2009

I think it's cute, but I know too many pets by that name.

megstriesagain · April 2009

It makes me think of that song about the transvestite first, then the Nabokov novel about a prepubescent slut, and then it just sounds like a stripper. Sorry, it just is all negative for me.

kiki4 · April 2009

I immediately think of the Barry Manilow song, Copacabana...

Our dog's name, too!

I was going to say it reminds me of a dog. Specifically, in my case, our friends' dachshund with sever bladder-control issues.

It also gets Copacabana in my head, as others mentioned.

sprice88 · April 2009

i love it! has always been one of my faves!

mrs.meteowrite · April 2009

I work with a grown up Lola, and it never seems weird. I do frequently think "....she was a showgirl" when I see her. But having a song with your name in it applies to so many names, I wouldn't rule it out because of that.

ErinInVA · April 2009

I like the name. It is my cars name though....the nav system is always talking, so the car became Lola (the showgirl)!

This is exactly what I thought!
