Yeah, slang for boobs / tits in French. Not good.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 26/09/2018 19:23

Pity you're not having twins. You could name her Hihi. Grin

Miladymilord · 26/09/2018 18:36

Isn't it what humbert humbert calls lolita?

pontiouspilates · 26/09/2018 18:33

We have male family
members called Manolo who are known as 'Lolo' I would go Lola for a girl.

@Florries share the rest of your list!!

madeoficecream · 26/09/2018 18:03

If you really like it could you not find a longer slightly more traditional name that could be shortened to Lolo?

Isolde
Lauren
Olivia
Lorelei
Coraline

No. Just no. I remember eurotrash and Lolo Ferrari.

AfterSchoolWorry · 26/09/2018 17:58

Lolo ball

It's a stupid word.

The way I judge it is, would you want your lawyer (representing you on a very important case) to be called this name?

Speaking as someone with an unusual name, it may be cute on a baby/toddler but in general it’s a pain when trying to be taken seriously as a professional.

EmpressAdultHumanFemale · 26/09/2018 17:50

You have confirmed that Lolo is definitely a no no.

But you know you'll keep getting horrified responses from the hard of thinking who don't RTFT? This might be time to hide the thread.

MakeItStopNeville · 26/09/2018 17:49

What about Lilou?

TittyGolightly · 26/09/2018 17:48

Iolo (first letter is an I, not an L) is a male welsh name. Pronounced Yol-o.

Thesnobbymiddleclassone · 26/09/2018 17:47

Lolo rolo yolo. Do you really have to ask.

PassportBridgetPants · 26/09/2018 17:44

It also means grandpa in Filipino :)

Thanks for your responses. You have confirmed that Lolo is definitely a no no. Struck off the list.

Crikey no, what a mean thing to do to a child (unless you are Nigerian or you want a porn star career for her).

NerrSnerr · 26/09/2018 17:35

I thought of Lolo Jones the Olympic hurdler (and didn't she do the bobsled at the Winter Olympics as well?)

BalloonDinosaur · 26/09/2018 17:31

Sorry OP, but it's a terrible name. She will never be taken seriously, which is shit but it's true.

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 26/09/2018 17:31

Another one who instantly thinks Lolo Ferrari.

Big no no.

twattymctwatterson · 26/09/2018 17:30

It's not a name op

Hoppinggreen · 26/09/2018 17:28

piper I love Hector! Nacho is a little shit though and Marta is annoying
Have you seen no2 as well?
I speak Spanish but DH doesn’t so he relies on subtitles ( helps me too) and we love the conservative translations of the swearing!
Going to try el ministerio del tiempo next
Anyway, apologies for the derail everyone

SemperIdem · 26/09/2018 17:25

I’m with ems

EmpressAdultHumanFemale · 26/09/2018 17:23

I like Lilo if you're after a similar sound.

I'm guessing this is a typo? Grin

iggleypiggly · 26/09/2018 17:22

Reminds me of a lolo ball I had as a child Smile
