ok...Lola?

[boodleboot]

dh has suggested Lola...i think i like it...WDYT?

[remaincalm]

I know a Lola, she is so cute. If you like the name go for it, I think it is great.

[notsoteenagemum]

I think it's lovely as long as you say Lohla not Lerla like Sara Cox does sometimes.

[glitzalicious]

I've heard Lola used as a nickname for Lolita so that in itself would put me off - and there are so many Lilys, Lilas, Lolas and even Lulas around at the moment it could get confusing!

[tiredfeet]

I think it will sound a bit silly as a name for a grown up, but makes a cute nickname

[boodleboot]

Lola Violet
Lola Belle
Lola Miel

i think Lola can def work as full first name 5he more i think about it...

[HelenDoula]

I love Lola, I wanted my 2nd DD to be Lola (would have been Lola Rae) DH didn't like it so we chose Sienna Rae... which she suits, she would have suited Lola too (DH is now exDH so if I ever got to have another girl she would be Lola !)

[TimothyTigerTuppennyTail]

How about Louisa shortened to Lola.

[coldtits]

...
She was a show Girl
with yellow feathers in her hair

and a dress cut up the there

[SarfEasticated]

Lola-May?

[MrsTicklemouse]

Am a bit at stripper comments the first thought i had was charlie and lola!

i like it btw

[daysoftheweek]

Mrs T I suspect that's a generational thing.
I'm a bit to say it says stripper to me too (as well as the bit about accountant trying to be an art student!)

[MamaLazarou]

Stripper name.

[boodleboot]

i have found the ultimate middle name and the combo is front runner for dh and i should this bump be pink

Lola Kate....

[HelenDoula]

Lola Kate .. really nice and if the bump be blue?!!!!

[tortoiseonthehalfshell]

It's getting really trendy, Lola. There's CharlieandLola, of course. There's a lingerie/bedwear range over here called ChloeandLola. And I know 3 under 5.

Also, yes, it fails the Prime Minister test.

Agree with the idea to use something like Dolores (which I love) and use Lola as nickname.

[MrsPixie]

Too highly sexually-laden name for me; the Peadophile's pet name for his Lolita, the Kinks, the showgirl with the high cut dress at the Copa..

a bit naff at best and just not apt for a little girl

[savoycabbage]

I think it's like Kylie.

[SqueezyB]

How about Louisa shortened to Lola or Lulu? I do like it, and you'll never be short of things with her name on thanks to Charlie and Lola, but I agree it's more of a child's NN than a grown-up name.

[5DollarShake]

Exactly what I was going to say tortoise - it is not a name to be taken seriously as an adult / professional (and when I say 'professional', I don't mean lady of the night ).

I might use it as a nn, but not as an actual name.

[Katy86]

i think its gorgeous

[boodleboot]

it really does divide people this name doesn't it.....i just don't think of it as a sexual name at all prob cos of hours of reading and watching charlie and lola with DS

Louisa is ok....bit meh tho i think...

come on ladies - what else can lola be short for???

{not Dolores....HATE that}

CAn't i jut go for Lola Kate {no hyphen before the hyphen brigade get their snipers out....}

[KERALA1]

Awful. Faddish (will date terribly) and with very dodgy sexual connotations. Baffled by its popularity. THere are lots of lovely names out there pick one of those!
