That's hard, they're both really lovely. I think probably Lola but definitely love both.

Lola

Lola, but Daphne is lovely too

Daphne. Lola is really rather popular and becoming quite commonplace now.

SausageSoda · 05/12/2016 15:05

Not Lola so by default,Daphne.

Ladygrinings0ul · 05/12/2016 15:06

Lola ,but that's because that's my best friends name.

Loyly · 05/12/2016 15:09

Lola but only because Daphne, to me, is Daphne Broon. Sorry!

Manupprincess · 05/12/2016 15:20

I wanted to have Lola as our option for a girls name but DP vetoed as he couldn't get the Kinks song out of his head!! I still think Lola is a lovely name Smile

Daphne is my favourite! I'm not sure who daphne broon is but I don't think I want to google it Grin
I do like Lola though, the Kinks song weirdly makes me like it even more!

Love Lola. It can be short for Dolores.

CockneyViv · 05/12/2016 15:32

Lola!

Sorry, I really can't stand Daphne. It's so frumpy

andpropersteel · 05/12/2016 15:32

Daphne!

DramaAlpaca · 05/12/2016 15:32

Daphne, I love it.

Lola is nice too, but to me Daphne is just so sophisticated & classy.

I'd never have got it past my DH though, sadly.

Thanks everyone, I'm pleased I got some extra opinions. As much as I love it, I thought Daphne might be considered a bit old fashioned by more people.

I like both names, but I prefer Daphne.
