Middle name for Lola, please help!

Hi!
Think we’ve decided on the name Lola for DD but really struggling to decide on a middle name. I really want something with one syllable but open to other suggestions if they sound nice! Currently I like Lola Rose, Lola Grace and Lola Belle. What are your opinions on these? Also open to any other suggestions! Thanks! Xx

Lola Wren

Lola Faye was the first name that sprung to mind.

I think the vowel sound in Grace, May, Jane/Jade etc go best with Lola. I don't think you should be concerned about the popularity of the second name when the first is so uncommon. Lovely choice.

Proseccoinamug · 28/11/2019 15:18

I thought Lola Rose before I opened the thread but think there are a lot of Roses about. Ditto Grace and May but all lovely names.

Lola Isobel
Lola Beatrice
Lola Annabel

Lola Jane
Lola Penelope

Lola Eve

May, Rose and Grace are all equally popular as middle names. I’d try and find something a bit more interesting.

Lola Rose is a Jacqueline Wilson book.

Middle name for Lola, please help!

They're all nice middle names. I'd be spoilt for choice.
Personal favourites would be Lola Rosalie or Lola Sofia, but you might find them a bit frilly.
If you like Lola May go for it. I always say popular names are popular for a reason (they flow really well).

Sorry, I think those names are so dreary as middle names. They are lovely as first names. Lola Grace or Lola May are very forgettable. You need a middle name that is longer, with some punch to it, to counterbalance Lola.
Cassandra
Penelope
Alexandra
Madeleine

From your list I like Lola Rose and Lola Grace is a close second. Lola Belle is nice but Rose and Grace are more of a classic and provide a great alternative if in the future she likes a change.

Thankyou for all your suggestions they’re all so beautiful! And Thankyou for all the compliments on the name Lola! :) so reassuring! I also love Lola May but a bit worried May is quite common? What do you all think? Thanks again xx

I like Lola Grace best of your list.

TooManyGlasses · 27/11/2019 23:54

My daughter and I both independently came up with Lola May! The rhythm works well and it sounds sweet and classic. The only problem would be if your surname is a verb, or if she married someone with a verb as a surname.

Eg I once heard of someone called Firstname May Dye... Just say it out loud...
