Lola

oaklcj · December 2015

What do think of the name Lola?
Good?
Bad?
Terrible?
Too short? Too informal?
Is it a nickname for a longer more formal name?
Thanks!

She was a showgirl.

Eta: that song is all I think of for this name. Naf at all.

I'm not the world's most masculine man
But I know what I am and I'm glad I'm a man.
And so is Lola.
Lo lo lo lo Lola. Lo lo lo lo lola.

Anyway.

I think The Kinks Lola and Barry Manilows Lola are very iconic, and it could prove an awkward namesake. I like the name Lola, I think it's cute. But I wouldn't use it on a person.

BTN says it's a diminutive of Delores, perhaps Delores or Delora nn Lola?

Agreed. I like it but wouldn't use it due to this unless it was a nn.

A friend just named her baby Lola and all I could think was "boys will be girls and girls will be boys... La la la Lola".

My hubby is a HUGE kinks fan, it's his fav band and were pretty sure we're going with Charlotte Victoria .... Lola is a NN for Charlotte and Victoria is a really awesome kinks song.

It's mostly just coinsidnce though, I've had he name Charlotte picked out well before it was cool

But yeah I'd use it for a NN lots of actual names have the NN as Lola.

I'm going to disagree with everyone else and say I like the name Lola. It is a diminutive, so I think a longer formal name may be good, but Lola is very pretty and unusual.

I know someone who named her baby Lola (after her grandmother) and no one has mentioned the song.

oaklcj · December 2015

Thank you! I did not think of that song but now I can't get it out of my mind! I will have to look at longer names with that nickname!

I think Lola is a nice name. I didn't even think of that song until I read the other comments.

My sister recently moved to Atlanta and reports Lola is very popular there with young children in her circle.

I like Lola and I don't know anything about that song.

g8trkim · December 2015

It's fine as a NN. But my first thought was Barry Manilow. Also I know so many dogs named Lola. Maybe it's just me.

I think of the song - where Lola was a showgirl. Also, in my husband's culture - Lola is the name given to grandmothers.

My friends dog is names Lola. That being said, I don't detest the name, cause at least it's feminine. Lola is technically a nn for Dolores but that may not be your style (Although Dee is also a cute nn from Dolores)
Maybe it could be a nn for Lorelei, Lourdes, Lauren, Lolita, Layla or perhaps use Lola for a cute middle name

I really love Lola. I've heard of it as a nickname for Charlotte and Penelope as well. Penelope/Lola was on my list but DH vetoed

noelani42 · January 2016
