Loola?

I am a big fan of Loola for a girl but wanted to get some opinions as I'm not sure if it may sound a bit too froofy.

Seriously?

LadyGeorginaSmythe · 26/10/2023 19:52

I call my daughter Loola, though in my head I spell it Lula...I've never actually written it down!

Her name is Lucy, though. I'm a fan of proper names even if nicknames are used at times. Everyone else calls her by her name.

BendingSpoons · 26/10/2023 19:53

Yes all I saw was loo. Loula?

traktor · 26/10/2023 19:53

Surely it would be spelt Lula?
Loola does sound like a toilet...

EnigmaticIcelandShopper · 26/10/2023 19:53

I have a colleague who uses this word in a very different manner

TheYearOfSmallThings · 26/10/2023 19:54

You're right, it might be a bit froofy.

How about Tooty or Flusha?

jedwardscissorhands27 · 26/10/2023 19:54

Lula or Loula is fine. I know of a few.

Not Loola though.

abc56 · 26/10/2023 19:54

The ones I know that are called this are 'Lula' - it's usually a nickname which I think is quite sweet

StarlightLime · 26/10/2023 19:55

In Ireland it's used to describe a complete halfwit. Just so you know...

Bobtheamazinggingerdog · 26/10/2023 19:55

JobMatch3000 · 26/10/2023 19:55

WeeStyleIcon · 26/10/2023 19:55

My mama used to call the vagina la Lula. So it's a no from me

JobMatch3000 · 26/10/2023 19:56

Or Louise / Louisa shorted to Lula.

Terfosaurus · 26/10/2023 19:56

There used to be a pushchair called Loola

youdonotneedanewphone · 26/10/2023 19:58

A lifetime of misery and ridicule.

MooseBeTimeForSnow · 26/10/2023 19:58

Isn’t Lula the alien in the Shaun the Sheep movie “Farmageddon”?

Safxxx · 26/10/2023 19:59

I've heard of Lola not loola, I think Lola sounds better and if you keep the other name then instead of loola, spell it Loula as someone recommended above.

Marlena1 · 26/10/2023 19:59

I thought this was a joke post @StarlightLime, didn't realise that was just here! I do like the sound of it though

wildthingsinthenight · 26/10/2023 20:00

If you must then maybe spell it Lula?

Blueuggboots · 26/10/2023 20:01

Leelou- fifth element.

AuntieStella · 26/10/2023 20:03

Lula would be fine

But not Loola

Just like Lou is fine, but not Loo

MyCircumference · 26/10/2023 20:04

MargotBamborough · 26/10/2023 20:06

No.

How about Louella?
