Really struggling with girls names but the only one I keep coming back to is Nola, what are your thoughts?

Nola is a lovely name.

I think I prefer Nora and Nuala but it's lovely!

Love it. I know someone with this name and liked her before I’d met her, just because of the name Grin

New Orleans is my first thought. I don’t love the name tbh but I do love Nora, which is very similar so I’m not sure why Nola doesn’t sit right. It’s a bit of a dogs name to my ear.

I quite like it. Did you get it from the novel "the truth about the Harry Quebert affair"?

JemimaPuddleCat · 23/04/2020 09:47

I like it.

JKScot4 · 23/04/2020 09:46

Really like it.

Nola is a lovely name, I’m fond of it. My cousin is Finola (Irish), she is called Nola by everyone.

Nope!

Sorry but I instantly imagine a tooth. I know that’s a molar, but that’s what I picture!

NOLA is an acronym for

New Orleans , Louisiana

Just a thought for you.

I think it's ok but suspect she would spend a lot of time saying "not Lola, Nola" through the course of her life.

Instant reaction is I like it
