What are people's thoughts on Lola? I keep going hot and cold on it...

There are a lot of Lolas out there, and I'm not even including the ones who taste just like cherry cola.

One of my cats is called Lola.

Long whiskers, white paws, very pretty and dainty.

"She looked like a woman but talked like a man oh my Lola". No. Just don't. It's either that or "she lost her looks and she lost her Tony then she LOST HER MIND" .

It's really awful, sorry.

KERALA1 · 15/04/2016 22:00

Awful. Baffled at popularity. Cannot imagine calling precious new born Lola. Transvestite stripper name.

eatmytoes888 · 15/04/2016 16:16

No really don't like it. Sounds like a stripper's name. Loula is cute though! Or Louella - met one recently and it really suited her!

OhPuddleducks · 15/04/2016 16:14

Am u the only one who hears Lola and thinks... Charlie?

Summ3r · 15/04/2016 15:44

It was on our list as hubby loves it but I'm not too sure as I know a dog called Lola lol

MarshaMallow84 · 14/04/2016 23:14

I love it. Really love it. But I didn't use it for DD as I thought everyone would laugh behind my back (dull straight laced family)

Lulabells · 14/04/2016 19:31

My daughter is a Lola. I had her name picked years before we even thought about children. I LOVE it. I did worry about the transvestite/show girl association but that seems silly now. Plus me and DP love the Copacobana song Smile. We don't know any other Lola's here but a girl in her preschool is Loula which is also very pretty sounding and may be a good alternative for you. Smile

I think it sounds like a hamster or a rabbit

TheNaze73 · 11/04/2016 14:12

It's a very popular name. There are 3 in my daughters class at school. I blame Charlie & Lola for the surge in popularity Wink

pilates · 11/04/2016 14:07

No, don't like it.

SomedayMyPrinceWillCome · 11/04/2016 13:39

There are 2 Lola s in my son's nursery class

ABitAsleep · 11/04/2016 13:37

I don't like it, sorry!

But i have heard a few Lola's with the nn Lollie, which i do quite like actually!

BartBaby · 10/04/2016 10:49

I live it and it was on my list. However dh vetoed it for the above reasons which is fair enough

Floggingmolly · 08/04/2016 21:33

There are loads of them round here. I don't like it much, I have to admit. It always puts me in mind of Lolita...

Botchit · 08/04/2016 21:27

Sweet name. Very trendy about 9 years ago.

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.

MissusWrex · 08/04/2016 20:43

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 😂

El Oh El Ay Lola!

Sounds like a prostitute's name IMO. Sorry OP

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 08/04/2016 20:01

One of the worse girls names there is.

MuttonCadet · 08/04/2016 19:06

Showgirl rather than transvestite, but not great really.

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