Lolita is most well known for being the child groomed and sexually abused in the book of the same name

Sadly has become byword for girl who is sexually appealling and sexually knowing

And from that into a fashion style which is about a certain way of dressing- Google it

So I wouldn't use that.

Oh god sorry comprehension error! Sorry you already said that. Ignore my post!

Estelle is nice, Lolita of course not useable as you’ve said but maybe Lola? Or Liliana?

I love Estelle.

Estelle is nice. How about Elise?

I think the full name of the girl in Lolita is Dolores, which I think is really pretty still and not associated with the book in the same way.
I also think Lolita is a lovely name, but you’d never escape the connotations.

Or how about Eloise as a similar name

Go for Estelle, its lovely

Love the way people just read the thread title and not the actual post.

The OP doesn’t actually want to use either name - she’s asking for names that are similar in feel.

Definitely Lola! If I’d had a third daughter she would have been a Lola

I get why it's very difficult to use Lolita, but why not Estelle if you like it? What's the problem?

Alternatives are Lola (which is basically the same name as Lolita, minus literary connotations and is actually quite popular), and Estella (prefer this to Estelle), Stella (beautiful, ignore idiots drivelling on about beer). Possibly Esther.

Lorelei feels very similar. Or Dolores is the name Lolita is nicknamed from (though it does mean sadness, which is a bit of a depressing choice!)
