Thoughts on Lola?

[whistlers]

I also like Clara, husband loves Eve but I'm not sure because it's quite popular at the moment!

There are quite a lot of Lola’s around, there really aren’t many Eves. I don’t know a single child named Eve. There are similar sounding Evie, Eva etc though

Thanks. Yeah it's more the Eva, Evie, Edies etc etc

I like Clara and Eve.

Lola to me is a cat's name.

I love Lola

Lovely on a small, yappy dog. Like a Pomeranian or a Jack Russell.

I really dislike it on a human, it feels very twee, frilly and insubstantial. Clara and Eve are lovely. I've only ever taught one Eve but it does blend into the hordes of Evas and Evies!

Eve and Clara are beautiful, elegant names which are both feminine and strong.

Lola isn't any of the above apart from feminine.

Clara is lovely, a classic. Lola is the opposite.

Brassy as in a little bit flashy and in your face. Clara and Eve seem quite refined whereas Lola is all pouty and wiggledy hipped.

What’s wrong with being a drag Queen?! That Lola sounded fabulous. She must have been something special for the Kinks to write a great song about her.

I love the name Lola 😍

Gooooodbye Ruby Tuesday 🎶

Despite all the negative, that is generally agreeing with, I can't stop LOVING this name!

I like Lola. Definitely would consider it for hypothetical further DDs! I’ve only known one - my hairdresser’s daughter is Lola, she must be about 15 now.

Love it.

I wouldn’t personally be swayed too much by popularity as it can change so quickly and being mainstream isn’t such a bad thing

Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl
With yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there

I don’t mind it to be honest but I still think the Lolita references are fairly strong

What about Evie? Softer than Eve.

Name changed for this because highly identifying.

I have a puppy called Lola and it is a lovely name. But it is prone to nicknames such as Lola-Lou and Lolz.

It is a lovely kids name but a "brave choice".

No way, it's everywhere. And isn't it a nickname for Eve anyway?

Lo, lols, lolly are lovely nicknames

NC as also identifying but I have a little girl Lola myself. It suits her perfectly and I wouldn’t change it for the world! Her ex-teacher was Spanish and used to call her Lolita. It is an endearing name in Spain and only means affection, nobody there has any other connections with that nickname.

I have met quite a few Lola-dogs mind .. !

I'm clearly a massive nerd, because my first thought was the red Corvette that Phil Coulson has (from Marvel's Agents of Shield, for the not quite so nerdy).

My second was Charlie and Lola.

It's a nice name though.

Lola is a gorgeous name!

@TheFormidableMrsC

Lola is a gorgeous name!

I have to convince my husband.

He loves the name but worried about 'career prospects in the future' wtf?!

I love the name Lola - I think it’s really pretty and does not make me think of a stripper!
I also really like Clara but not a fan of Eve

My friend has a Lorelei that gets shortened to lolly or Lola, that would give her options when she is older.

She was a showgirl!
And because of these associations I expect anyone called Lola to be big and loud and a bit brassey. I only know one and she’s just the opposite and for me, her name just doesn’t suit her!
Clara and Eve are much classier.
