Lily or Lola?

[fruitc]

Can't decide!
Lily or Lola
Love both & don't mind about the popularity of Lily. Which one is nicer / should we go for? Thank you!

Lily

I love both, but I have a Lily, so I'm biased toward that one.

Lola is definitely less popular in the charts though. I think it's in the 80s here in Australia, and doesn't look to be rising, whereas Lily is in the 20s.

Lola is really strong. I love it.

Lola... L O L A Lola....

I wouldn't!

Love both, Lily just has the edge.

Lily for sure.

I have a Lily so second that, my DD is not often called lil as I correct everyone and so does she, Lola to me seems tacky but there are not so many, my Lily is known as Lily and first letter of surname as she has 3 others in the class. I think it's a timeless and pretty name.

Lily is nice but Lola is utterly awesome!

Lily. Lola is too cutesy, is a diminutive, and it gets muddled up with all the similar names - Lila, Leela, Lilah, Laa-Laa... And it's short for Dolores anyway.

We would've had Lola if we'd had a girl. You never heard it used (apart from those two songs) and Charlie and Lola were just twinkles in their parents' eyes.

But now I'm glad we didn't as it's now very popular.

Lily is pretty, but too popular too.

What about Lyla/Lila (Lie-la) or Lilla (Lil-la) or Layla?

They are both pretty but probably Lily has the edge purely for being an actual flower (and a nice one at that) and therefore it seems more classic whilst also being nice for a child and also an adult.

I think Lola sounds pretty also but it has a touch of the... I don't know, rebellious? about it.

Lola. My little girls name and we love it!

I just had a Lily and feel like we made the right choice, if that helps!! Loads of people seem to love it (though I guess they would say that)!

Also we chose it because I don't actually know any others, believe it or not! I know it is really popular atm though so she may well be one of many in her class...

Lily

Lily 😻

Don't much like either but Lily is far 'classier'.

Thanks everyone! Lily it is

Lily is a lovely, classic, timeless name
Lola is Ok, but seems a bit 'tarty' to me.

My two rabbits are called Lily & Lola.
not helpful I know
I slightly prefer Lily (the name, not the rabbit).
love them both equally

Or something less copycat?

Like what, Tatiana?

Balonz?

I know you’re going with Lily, which is gorgeous, but another massive fan of Lola here.

(Plus - transvestites or showgirls are not murderers or social deviants...) The Kinks song is awesome

I would definitely NOT use Lolita though... now that is a bad connotation

Lola.

Oh not another Lily. It's the Lisa of the 2010s isn't it

I already had my little girls name from when I was little myself and called her Lucy.

We said if she would have been a twin then without doubt the other name would be Lola.

Dd is 7 now and I still love it.

In her primary school there is a Lola and several Lily's. I wasn't keen on Lily for a long time but actually really like it now.

Dd's baby alive dolls all have flower names and Lily is my favourite one
