Opinions on the name Lola Grace

[kelman13]

Just after some opinions of what you all think of the name Lola Grace?? cheers lovely people xx

Grace is boring now, its what people choose if they can't think of anything else

Lola is ok prefer lois or laura though

I like Grace (prefer it as a first name) but not Lola.

I also like Nancy but my other half doesn't! it's trying to find a few names that we can agree on! easier said than done!!!!xx

I do think the 'stripper/showgirl' connotation is old hat, especially to a generation who will have grown up with Charlie and Lola and have that as their first point of reference for the name.

My cousin used this name last year, and I like it, so there.

I really like Lola buT I think grace as a middle name is dull. It's the Ann/Louise/Marie/Jane that a those of us born in the 70/80s were lumbered with

Not a massive fan, I always think Lola is a bit of a nothing name. The candyfloss of girls names.

My dd2 has Grace as a middle name (after her great grandmother) and I love it!

I'm indifferent to Lola (and Lila and Leila etc) and struggle to find anything to say, positive or negative.

also like Nancy

Reminds me of that song - something like " oh me Nancy tickled me fancy, Oh me charming Billy Boy".

For me the overriding associating is Nancy from Oliver Twist - which is not a good pedigree name to give a girl - that of an alcoholic thief and a prostitute who was beaten and abused by Billy Sykes who eventually kills her.

I love Grace, but I wouldn't pick Lola because of all the songs associated with the name.

What about:

Evie Grace
Lydia Grace
Lily Grace
Lila Grace
Thea Grace?

I think Nancy Grace is cute!

Love the name Lola.

Grace is over used and boring, a bit like May/Mae.

I see Lexi was mentioned as an alternative. Nasty common name!

I have a Grace. Never met another one and we very much chose it. Big fat raspberries to anyone who said it was dull. We get a lot of compliments on it and I like that it doesn't have any preconceptions. You could meet a Grace from any family and it's easy for a child to say and write

Lana?

Grace is a lovely, massively overused middle name, imo. Nice name but I'd avoid it and May/Rose like the plague at the moment.

Not a fan of Lola, it reminds me of my aunts small yappy Jack Russell or, as others said, the Kinks song/"her name was lola, she was a showgirl..."

And tbh, when I think about the name Lola it also reminds me of Lolita, also not something I'd be happy to name a child after.

Sorry, op. I do think similar names (Lara/Lila/Lorna/Lana etc) are nice, though.

It's really 'now' so it will date quickly. I think it has dated already actually.

I love it.

Lola sounds incomplete to me, many diminutives are now used as given names but Lola very much sounds like a nickname.

Puppu, I don't think anybody is saying that Grace is itself a dull name, rather it is dull to see it time and time again as a middle name.

I've only ever met three Grace's, who in their 50's, teen's and a baby respectively.

Not a huge fan of Lola but it's fine. How about Lara which is very pretty and less popular? Although popularity may not bother you. I think Grace is a lovely name but as previous posters have said it and May and Rose have become sooooooo popular as middle names that it's taken away from them. Grace as a first name perhaps? Incidentally I know a Lola Grace who is about 2 months old now.

I think of Lola as a short name for Dolores, which means pain, and puts me off.

Lola? Sounds like a stripper to me.
