Thoughts on the name Zola

nolebride · February 2012

For a girl?

not a fan.

I think its going to be one of those trendy names that people pick up from TV (Grey's Anatomy). It sounds too close to the drug Zoloft for my tastes.

evaazalea · February 2012

I kind of like it, it's different without being way out there or look like your trying to hard, it is very similar to Lola though and I can imagine people assuming that's what you said.

Yep.

I agree with the Grey's thing but I also think it's different enough that it won't be a lot of people's style. It's certainly not mainstream.

Dont like.

alliejo725 · February 2012

Sounds like the name of a sci-fi or comic book character. NMS.

missmolly511 · February 2012

Hated it on Grey's Anatomy...would hate it even more on a real baby. It sounds like something out of Star Trek. Sorry!

Zola sounds like a name someone would give to their dog. I wouldn't even like it on a dog, though, much less on a person.

pandapepperoni · February 2012

I'm not a big fan, sorry.

I like Zoe or Zara better but it's ok. I don't watch Grey's Anatomy so I immediately think of Zola Taylor, the singer.

Pictures29 · February 2012

If you're looking for a unique "Z" name I prefer Zara. I don't really like Zola.

Trshirley74 · February 2012

I like Zola!! Partially because I used to work with a girl named Zola, who was a really nice person.

giraffe54 · February 2012

I don't watch Grey's Anatomy, but I immediately think of Emile Zola, the author. A literary genius, sure, but also kinda creepy and not someone I'd like to be named after.

That aside, I don't like it at all. To me, it's not a particularly nice sounding name.

pumpkinspice4321 · February 2012

I like it but wouldn't use it for my child.

Indynurse12 · February 2012

Not my style.

Annie234567 · February 2012

I think of this.

MrsFoof · February 2012

Reminds me of depression medicine... (I think it is depression medicine, not sure though).

ablou · February 2012

I love it love it love it love it. But I'm completely obsessed with Z names (Zara, Zola, Zelda, Zora).

That was absolutely my first thought too--Emile Zola.

NativeNyer · February 2012

Yep - Emile Zola - (the novel Germinal)

AnneEB · February 2012

I think of Zoloft, sorry. I do like Zara or Zephyr though.

paintme · February 2012

My great Aunt's name was Zelda. I know it is a bit of an old fashion name but I love it and thought I would throw it out there as another option.

Good luck!

mummyofsix:
It sounds odd to me, I think because I have a DD named Lola and so Zola sounds to me like Zichael or Zennifer. But its kind of cute!

Haha. I think that's why I like it. I adore the name Lola but I can't get past all the copacabana references. When I heard Zola, it just kinda stuck and then I realized why I might like it. Clearly, it's not going to be a popular name or even well liked for that matter.

Keri Marie · February 2012

I have a great uncle with this name... meh.

jessican08 · February 2012

Sorry, it makes me think of Zoloft.

Aligator28 · February 2012

Not a fan.

Laurakat81 · February 2012

Yuck.

AlphabetFish · February 2012

I don't mind it at all, but then my husband had a great-grandmother named Zeula (zoo-la) and I guess it reminds me of that.

LisaG09 · February 2012

A girl on my facebook just named her baby Zola Nicole. I don't really like the name but as usual now that she has posted pics, it just seems to fit the baby even though I don't like it as a name. If you like it go for it. It isn't a terrible name...and until I read this post I hadn't heard of any of these other references so I don't think most of them will be a big deal especially as your baby ages.

globetrotting7 · February 2012

I've never seen an episode of Grey's but this name is very pretty. I like Zolie as a nn.

JNoelleE · February 2012

Sounds made up. And weird.

sweetface83 · February 2012

I also think it's going to become trendy with the Grey's association. I do love Zora though.
