What are people's thoughts on Lola? I keep going hot and cold on it...

There are lots about!

bloodypassword · 08/04/2016 18:21

Love it. Beautiful name Smile

barnet · 08/04/2016 18:23

I think it's cool and sweet.
But I know it got very popular a few years back and maybe got overused.

HarlettOScara · 08/04/2016 18:24

She was a showgirl.
Yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there...

Sorry not helpful but I love the name but couldn't bring myself to use it for my DD so I used it for a dog instead.

Afreshstartplease · 08/04/2016 18:25

Did consider it for dd now 3

Still considering it now if this baby is a girl

Seeyounearertime · 08/04/2016 18:26

I cant help but think of a transvestite in a night club.

Sorry :(

sonlypuppyfat · 08/04/2016 18:27

Well Barry manilow liked it

TinklyLittleLaugh · 08/04/2016 18:29

It makes me think transvestite.

Cosycottage4 · 08/04/2016 18:30

Harlett that is my concern!!! I do love how it sounds though...

Nothing against trannies mind. Go for it if you like it (in the Kinks song she is a nice tranny anyway).

Sophronia · 08/04/2016 18:34

It makes me think transvestite too, unfortunately.

MuttonCadet · 08/04/2016 19:06

Showgirl rather than transvestite, but not great really.

I know a few dog Lola's (mostly Bulldogs)

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 08/04/2016 20:01

One of the worse girls names there is.

MrsLeighHalfpenny · 08/04/2016 20:06

El Oh El Ay Lola!

Sounds like a prostitute's name IMO. Sorry OP

Cosycottage4 · 08/04/2016 20:39

Right thanks everyone, it's officially off the list! Grin

Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl, la la la la laaaa la.

Sorry, whenever I hear that name that bloody song gets stuck in my head.

I'll be humming it all night now 😂

mrsschu · 08/04/2016 20:51

Not keen at all. Also makes me think of the Kinks song (which is a good song to be fair!). There are quite a few around at the moment and I think it will date badly.

Sweet name. Very trendy about 9 years ago.

Floggingmolly · 08/04/2016 21:33

There are loads of them round here. I don't like it much, I have to admit. It always puts me in mind of Lolita...

BartBaby · 10/04/2016 10:49

I live it and it was on my list. However dh vetoed it for the above reasons which is fair enough

ABitAsleep · 11/04/2016 13:37

I don't like it, sorry!

But i have heard a few Lola's with the nn Lollie, which i do quite like actually!

SomedayMyPrinceWillCome · 11/04/2016 13:39

There are 2 Lola s in my son's nursery class

pilates · 11/04/2016 14:07

No, don't like it.
