Lalita, is it too close to Lolita?

Looking for a unique Indian baby name for Indian-British DD. I like this name but a bit worried about how close it is to Lolita? It has a totally different meaning in Sanskrit though.

Yes.

Yes it is

I’d assume it was Lolita mis-spelled. I’ve not heard of the Sanskrit name.

I think they're quite close. Depending on the accent they could be pronounced the same. In my accent they'd both pretty much be luh-lita
