Lula - what do you think?

[Janus]

What do you think? Heard it ages ago and really liked it, still do but wonder if it is a 'grown up' name too?

[ValiumSandwichTime]

no in my neck of the woods that's what little girls call their vaginas. I couldn't believe my eyes when i saw a buggy called loola.

[Violethill]

It sounds as though its not sure what it's meant to be. Lulu/ Lila/ Lola.... ?

I've never heard it before tbh

[onimolap]

Like Elton or Elvis, it's one of those names that doesn't need a surname. He's the recent President of Brazil.

It might catch on, just as Evita did for girls. But I don't like it yet; if you used Luiz on the birth certificate it would work as a nn.

[MelinaM]

I've heard of it as a nn for Louise, and it sounds a lot like the name Luna.

[JojoMags]

Prefer Lola, Layla or Lulu

[lulalullabye]

Fabulous

[Eglu]

DH loves this. I wanted Tallulah as a name and DH only liked it as he could have Lula as a nn.

[mellicauli]

Sorry to brutal but it's a little bit loony and a little bit lala..

[Changeisagoodthing]

Surely it would be spelt
Loula?

[Plonker]

We have a Lucy and we often call her Lula (amongst many other names )

I think it's lovely, but only as a nn

[LyraBelaqua]

I've got a Lyra and it is one of the many nn we give her 'lyralula, lyralooly' etc. I think its pretty though

[gleechie]

I know an Aloula nn Lula, she is adorable. Cute name. :)

[FoxyRevenger]

Sounds like a name for fanjo to me.

I can imagine a mum saying "mind and clean your lula"

[ValiumSandwichTime]

yeah! me!!

[telsa]

yep, President of Brazil!

[thereisalightanditnevergoesout]

Lula Mae Barnes was Holly Golightly's real name in Breakfast at Tiffany's.

I like it, though not sure I would use it myself, especially as there is a dog in Pocoyo called Lula/Loula.

[Janus]

Oh dear, ladies bits have rather killed it for me!! There was a similar thread about minnie, which my friend uses with her kids for their bits, I just couldn't not associate it with that! Same now applies for Lula as it is in my head!
Back to drawing board!
I have 3 girls already so finding it hard to come up with another girl's name but saying that, finding it hard to come up with a boy's name too!
Thanks everyone x

[Poppy1969]

Oh shame....I LOVE the name Lula and it was my no 1 choice if I'd had a girl (there's always next time!).....don't let the 'ladies bits' references put you off!!

[Firawla]

i think their is a company called lula saphire? so it makes me think of that but i didnt know the vagina thing so that would put me off too.. i did think it was pretty at first
what about lola?
