Thoughts on Nola?

[Ash06]

Really struggling with girls names but the only one I keep coming back to is Nola, what are your thoughts?

Don't like it at all

I don't like it.

What about nova?

Thank you everyone for your opinions. I actually found the name in a magazine, think I like it because I’ve not heard the name used often x

I know a Nolah. Hadn’t heard it before but think it’s quite nice now! A little different but not massively so.

I like it!

I prefer both Lola and Nuala.

Nola makes me think of New Orleans.

I say Noh-la, rather than No-la. Would others say it this way, too?

Yep it’s New Orleans to me too. I don’t think I could get past that, but I have lived in the southern United States and still have a lot of friends there. I would say that without connections/regular travel to the US, those connotations wouldn’t be so bas

I like it.

There's two Nolas at my dd's primary school which I find odd as it isn't very popular. Both lovely girls so it has good connotations for me.

I love it! I have an Aunt Nola who is in her late 60s. She was named after the Irish midwife who delivered her.

It's okay, but for me it's a bit too much like a nickname rather than a full name in itself. I know someone called Shanolla who goes by Nola for short.
