Lola is a good cat's name. I just don't think it's got enough gravitas for an adult.

I wouldn't like to be called Lola as a nearly 40 year old woman. What shortens to Lola?... Dolores, Lourdes... they are quite religious names but maybe there are others so she has options.

That kitten is clearly a Brenda.

strawberrypenguin · 17/07/2017 12:39

Lola for DD and Artemis for kitten (or Charlie cos then you can have Charlie and Lola!)

Kazzawazza69 · 17/07/2017 11:48

The kitten doesn't look like a Lola to me and if you've already got a middle name to go with Lola it sounds like you have your heart set on it for your DD - I say go for it!

I know an adult Lola & it works perfectly well on her.

Your kitten is absolutely gorgeous by the way & I honestly cannot decide whether your kitten or DD should have the name.

I'm very helpful aren't I?Grin

I love Dorothy for a little girl. That kitten should be Sarah (means Princess).

I know a child called Lola and a dog called Lola 😉

Mollie85 · 16/07/2017 14:00

I love the name Lola- when I was told I couldn't have children, I bought a Nissan Figaro and named her Lola instead...

Totally agree with MrsH too.

By the time our children are adults all the lawyers/accountants/doctors etc will be called names that sound cutesy now (Evie, Poppy, Archie, etc) so I wouldn't worry about that as a factor.

Ooh mixed views. I love Lola for a little girl but I do have slight reservations about it suiting a serious adult.

Lola is lovely, use it for your dd.

Kitten

Not keen on Lola for child or cat sorry.

However your kitten is beautiful. She looks like a Sheba to me.

KnockMeDown · 15/07/2017 15:11

She looks like Smudge to me Grin

Sittingonthefence83 · 15/07/2017 15:06

I think you should go with Lola for you daughter and Winnie for your cat!!!

NoncommittalToSparkleMotion · 15/07/2017 15:01

Use it for your DD. It's a name you love and you'll be saying it for the rest of her life.

Sallywiththegoodhurr · 15/07/2017 14:55

My DDog is called Lola DH wanted to call DD Lola so I called the dog it instead

I also know some human Lola's so wouldn't say it's a pet name at all!

MrsHathaway · 15/07/2017 14:40

I meant a Suffragette themed name like Emmeline or Christabel.

I like Dorothy too.

Hmmmm not so sure about Suffragette but I agree she's a majestic creature. Dorothy?

MrsHathaway · 15/07/2017 14:16

Ooh I wouldn't go Lola with a creature as majestic as that. I'd go GoT or Suffragette or something with a bit more oomph.

MilkTwoSugarsThanks · 15/07/2017 14:07

Oh she's a Lola!

What Mrs said! Grin

MrsHathaway · 15/07/2017 13:47

Hmm. I don't think we can proceed any further without a photo of the kitten ...

Nope and we have a beautiful middle name that goes perfectly with Lola and our surname.
