For a girl?

Reminds me of this song

I thought Lolo Ferrari too. Admittedly no-one under about 40 is likely to have that reference though, and if it's a recognised Nigerian name then it's probably fine if that's your heritage.

scottboy · 26/09/2018 17:17

I'm all for unusual names but this is a bit too weird, sorryConfused

I like Lilo if you're after a similar sound.
If you're after repetitiveness, what about Coco, Kiki, Mimi or Gigi?

espoleta · 26/09/2018 17:10

I love it!

DuckingMel · 26/09/2018 17:07

Instant thought is Lolo Ferrari. So... no.

jadedgranger · 26/09/2018 17:03

I know a Lolo, who is actually named Laura. Think it's cute but only as a nickname

BluthsFrozenBananas · 26/09/2018 17:02

Lolo? No no

Lila, Lola or Laya fine

Lilo Lil, SHE IS A TART!!!

ParanoidGynodroid · 26/09/2018 16:56

As others have pointed out, it sounds like some sort of text speak acronym, like LOL,YOLO etc.

And it just sounds terrible anyway!

PiperPublickOccurrences · 26/09/2018 16:48

Have seen it all, Hopping :-) my degree is Spanish so it helps me keep my understanding up. I watch it with the subtitles in Spanish too as that particular Lolo is incredibly hard to understand.

Have quite a soft spot for Hector though.

TheCatFromOuterSpace · 26/09/2018 16:46

How about Dolores, then you can nickname her Lolo until she gets old enough to decide for herself

LynetteScavo · 26/09/2018 16:46

Lolo sounds like the nn for a boy called Lawrence.

I can imagine it now "Lolo, don't forget your cello"

Sallygoroundthemoon · 26/09/2018 16:45

Er..no to Lolo.

Hoppinggreen · 26/09/2018 16:42

El Mar de plastico? piper
Do ya want to know who dunnit?

PiperPublickOccurrences · 26/09/2018 16:41

I have come across a Male Spanish gypsy with that name

You've been watching the same box set on Netflix as me... The character in that series is Manolo. Nicknamed Lolo.

Hoppinggreen · 26/09/2018 16:38

I have come across a Male Spanish gypsy with that name but apart from that I would imagine it’s mainly a femal porn star name

BertrandRussell · 26/09/2018 16:37

"Any reasons why Lolo isn't a great name?"

Because you are naming an adult woman.

catsinstrangeplaces · 26/09/2018 16:36

How about Lois and then you can call her Lolo (at home, if you insist)

bridgetreilly · 26/09/2018 16:34

Yes, I was going to say I think I've heard it in an African context. I kind of like it, actually.

Aprilshowersnowastorm · 26/09/2018 16:02

Lilo Lil was fab!!

Xiaoxiong · 26/09/2018 15:58

I know a young girl with this name but from a Nigerian background. I think there is a Nollywood actress called Lolo as well. So in context, Nigerian family, wouldn't raise an eyebrow. A white British child, I'd think it was a typo for Lola.

Notsoaccidentproneanymore · 26/09/2018 15:53

Is it pronounced low low, lolow or lo lo?

She would spend the rest of her life correcting people or spelling it for them!

BakedBeans47 · 26/09/2018 15:53

Made me think of Lolo Ferrari too. So no.

dinosaurkisses · 26/09/2018 15:52

Sounds like a pet name a toddler would use to describe their privates.

Imagine going to an interview and introducing yourself as Lolo.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 26/09/2018 15:50

Lolo Ferrari, enough said.

CoffeeShortbread · 26/09/2018 15:49

Lolo Ferrari, there’s a blast from the past. I’ve just googled her, I didn’t realise she was only 37 when she died Shock. All that surgery and make up aged her face terribly.
