Loletta?

Or does it sound like a feminine hygiene product? I adore Lola and want it but it gets so many negatives on here, even though the association from what I can see wont last into her teen years.... I dont like Dolores and I would have picked Lois as a full name to garner Lola, but DB has given me a DN - Lewis.

Be brutal! x

It looks like you couldn't spell Lolita. So I would think you have dodgy taste in names and couldn't spell.

I don't like it, sorry. But I think Lola is fab and if you adore it and want it, have it Smile

I know they're different names. But yours looks made up. ANd it just doesn't sound nice. It looks like a typo of Loretta

Not keen on Loletta, sorry, sounds like a bizarre hybrid of Loretta and Lolita, neither of which are great. How about Layla?

i really like loletta, and it can be shortened in different ways if she wants when she is older.

Lola is so far superior to Loletta that I can't believe you made the leap from one to the other. Loletta is just too c&w, sorry. Go with Lola, or Layla, Leila, Lauren, Louisa, Lila...
