i really like this name,dh likes it too but there is something about it,i hate to use the word but is it a bit chavvy?

I know its not too popular on mn because of lolita but i dont think of that when i think of the name,in fact more likely to think of charlie and lola!Like the kinks song so that doesnt bother me.

I agree with superbad, a stripper name that's been claimed by the middle classes.

It's a bit like Coco or Talullah in my mind.

Not a huge fan of those names, they seem a bit insubstantial.

I think it's nice if you're Spanish or Latin American.

Love it, love it, love it. Don't think it has stripper associations.

I know one. Her brother is Kai.

I really dislike it, it isn't chavvy to me it just reminds me of 90's movies when strippers all seemed to be called lola/candi/krystal.

It's been 'reclaimed' in recent years as quite a middle class name but sadly i do still think stripper. Sorry!

I think it's a lovely name.

But do think of The Kinks

I'm not keen on Lola at all, sorry.

I like it but it does make me think of Lola from Eastenders rather than Charlie & Lola...
