I like it but I knew someone with a dog called lola and grace is a bit overused.

BabyMum1 · 04/08/2015 08:31

Not sure about Lola, sorry that's only personal opinion but can't imagine an adult lady called Lola ..

BabyMum1 · 04/08/2015 08:32

Love grace though

diploddycus · 04/08/2015 08:35

I know a lot of dogs and babies called Lola. I really don't like it, sorry! It's not a name for an adult. What about Layla?

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 04/08/2015 08:38

I like it.

I know dogs called Lola, Ruby, Lily, Tilly, Ellie, Teddy, Freddie, Charlie in fact most of the names of children, so that wouldn't put me off one bit.

It's nice, but both names are very popular. It's not particularly distinctive.

Branleuse · 04/08/2015 08:40

It sounds like the name of pretty much every other little girl at the moment

DurhamDurham · 04/08/2015 08:42

I think they are both a bit overused at the moment and I think Lola is a very washy washy name.

whatarethose · 04/08/2015 08:42

It's nice but overused and getting a bit boring.

SinglePringle · 04/08/2015 08:43

Isn't it the name if Kate Moss' daughter?

BeautifulBatman · 04/08/2015 08:44

Single that's Lila Grace

DirtyDeedsD0neDirtCheap · 04/08/2015 08:46

Lola is ok

grace boring

but there are loads of Lola's about. how about Layla? Lois? Lexi?

(I have a combination of 2 of the above so am biased)

wineandpopcorn · 04/08/2015 08:47

I like both but very common names currently, I know lots!

MummyPiggy87 · 04/08/2015 08:51

Not keen on Lola, will prob get shortened to 'low' aswell.
Grace is nice though, Gracie for a 1st name is pretty.

kelman13 · 04/08/2015 09:24

thanks for your opinions! I don't know any lolas lol! it's so hard trying to decide a name! Haven't even started boys names yet?!xx

Well it does flow nicely mind you Grace is a classic name that goes with almost anything.
But I don't like the sound of Lola. I love Louisa Louisa-Grace is beautiful
But not my baby nor my business.

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 04/08/2015 11:15

Or how about Grace as a first name

DuchessofAnkh · 04/08/2015 11:18

Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl
With yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there
She would merengue and do the cha-cha...

..etc...
or alternately

"Lola"

I met her in a club down in old Soho
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like cherry-cola
See-oh-el-aye cola
She walked up to me and she asked me to dance
I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said Lola
El-oh-el-aye Lola la-la-la-la Lola

DuchessofAnkh · 04/08/2015 11:18

...you'll get that from anyone over 40 Grin

MrsLeighHalfpenny · 04/08/2015 11:20

Prostitute. Sorry Blush

ComfySensibleShoes · 04/08/2015 11:23

Lola's a bit naff, sorry.

If I had to choose an English name (my daughters have beautiful Welsh names) then I'd choose something like

Katie
Emily
Lydia

TheHouseOnBellSt · 04/08/2015 11:26

I have a Lola and you can all bog off Grin

I only know one other...it's possibly more popular now but 12 years ago it wasn't.

I really like it and so does Lola.x

CheersMedea · 04/08/2015 11:29

Yeah - Lola is a bit of a low rent/Showgirl/Prostitute name.
Think of it this way - can you imagine someone saying "Let me present to you, the next prime minister and leader of the Party, Ms Lola [Surname]."

No way. It's like someone called Fifi Trixibelle is going to have a damn hard time making head way in a serious profession.

The name Lola always makes me think of this song from Damn Yankees - also a bit slutty/vampy!!

Grace is OK as a middle name but a bit of a curse for a woman as a first name. Few people are actually graceful and that's a hell of a teasing burden for a galumphing little girl to bear.

CalmYourselfTubbs · 04/08/2015 11:30

don't like lola.
makes me think of those lolo balls that we all jumped on 20 years ago.

and the song about the cross dresser.
lola oh oh ohhhh loooola.

bestguess23 · 04/08/2015 11:32

It's the name of a jewellery brand. I must admit I do think it sounds like a pornstar/stripper name.
