I think it's cool and sweet.
But I know it got very popular a few years back and maybe got overused.

She was a showgirl.
Yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there...

Sorry not helpful but I love the name but couldn't bring myself to use it for my DD so I used it for a dog instead.

Nothing against trannies mind. Go for it if you like it (in the Kinks song she is a nice tranny anyway).

It makes me think transvestite too, unfortunately.

Showgirl rather than transvestite, but not great really.

I know a few dog Lola's (mostly Bulldogs)

One of the worse girls names there is.

El Oh El Ay Lola!

Sounds like a prostitute's name IMO. Sorry OP

Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl, la la la la laaaa la.

Sorry, whenever I hear that name that bloody song gets stuck in my head.

I'll be humming it all night now 😂

Not keen at all. Also makes me think of the Kinks song (which is a good song to be fair!). There are quite a few around at the moment and I think it will date badly.
