I am a big fan of Loola for a girl but wanted to get some opinions as I'm not sure if it may sound a bit too froofy.

As a nickname for talulah then sure, on its own no

Ibravedaflood · 26/10/2023 20:07

Was a pushchair model years ago.
What about Bogga?
Or Lavvy?

MargotBamborough · 26/10/2023 20:06

No.

How about Louella?

MyCircumference · 26/10/2023 20:04

lola if you have to

AuntieStella · 26/10/2023 20:03

Lula would be fine

But not Loola

Just like Lou is fine, but not Loo

Leelou- fifth element.

wildthingsinthenight · 26/10/2023 20:00

If you must then maybe spell it Lula?

Marlena1 · 26/10/2023 19:59

I thought this was a joke post @StarlightLime, didn't realise that was just here! I do like the sound of it though

Safxxx · 26/10/2023 19:59

I've heard of Lola not loola, I think Lola sounds better and if you keep the other name then instead of loola, spell it Loula as someone recommended above.

Isn’t Lula the alien in the Shaun the Sheep movie “Farmageddon”?

youdonotneedanewphone · 26/10/2023 19:58

A lifetime of misery and ridicule.

Terfosaurus · 26/10/2023 19:56

There used to be a pushchair called Loola

JobMatch3000 · 26/10/2023 19:56

Or Louise / Louisa shorted to Lula.

WeeStyleIcon · 26/10/2023 19:55

My mama used to call the vagina la Lula. So it's a no from me

JobMatch3000 · 26/10/2023 19:55

Don't

Leila
Laila / Layla
Lulu
Lola

Bobtheamazinggingerdog · 26/10/2023 19:55

Lula! Not loola FFS

StarlightLime · 26/10/2023 19:55

In Ireland it's used to describe a complete halfwit. Just so you know...

abc56 · 26/10/2023 19:54

The ones I know that are called this are 'Lula' - it's usually a nickname which I think is quite sweet

jedwardscissorhands27 · 26/10/2023 19:54

Lula or Loula is fine. I know of a few.

Not Loola though.

TheYearOfSmallThings · 26/10/2023 19:54

You're right, it might be a bit froofy.

How about Tooty or Flusha?

EnigmaticIcelandShopper · 26/10/2023 19:53

I have a colleague who uses this word in a very different manner

traktor · 26/10/2023 19:53

Surely it would be spelt Lula?
Loola does sound like a toilet...

BendingSpoons · 26/10/2023 19:53

Yes all I saw was loo. Loula?

LadyGeorginaSmythe · 26/10/2023 19:52

I call my daughter Loola, though in my head I spell it Lula...I've never actually written it down!

Her name is Lucy, though. I'm a fan of proper names even if nicknames are used at times. Everyone else calls her by her name.
