Lola- too ''stripper'' to even consider?

Hey, so I really value all your opinions (wish I'd asked you about dd1's name I could have saved months of anguish!) dh really likes the name Lola- I think perhaps it's too 'chavette'?

Ignoring the dubious background of dolores (pains, sorrows, maria de los dolores, blabla) Lola seems a little common to me- (lola bunny lolo ferrari, pole dancing awful name with lolita connotations as well) but I still think it is cute- is it ready to be on 'the list' or completely veto-able?

Thanks

i quite like Lola. My DD's middle name is Lula which is similar and may or may not have stripper connotations!

I think it's a bit babyish and childlike, and now popular.

I like it as a name but I do sing 'she was a showgirl' every time I see it on mumsnet.

Lola is cute (Charlie and Lola) but what about Lois? I love this name but didnt' have chance to use it.
