Is Lola common...

[NiceCuppaT]

???
How many do you know?
Do you think it'll be/it is common in both senses of the word??

I love the name Lola but my DH name is Charlie so would that just be wrong for any future DD's?

I know 5 under 10 yes its popular and yes I too mentally hear "her name was Lola" when I hear the name

I do like the name, but in various songs, Lola is either a transvestite, a prostitute or a showgirl.

Agree it's a nice nn.

I worked with a Lola who was a few years older than me. Isn't it a Spanish name?

My DD is a Lola and we don't own a stitch of Burberry .

I know several, the most recently being my youngest cousin who is a few months old.

i LOVE Lola, shame it sounds awful with our surname, we also vetoed Lyra, Lyla and Luca for the same reason

Gaining in popularity but most certainly not common

Lots of them hitting nurseries this year - guessing because of Charlie and...

Seems to be the new Chloe round here in terms of numbers of them in a class (not meant negatively in any way).

Yes SH it's a Spanish nickname for Dolores. I think it is quite common in both senses...sorry... or rather, ime little Lolas always seem to come from quite well-to-do families but I can't imagine a Lady Lola or Queen Lola, it doesn't sound like a complete name on its own. & it def. makes me think of showgirl, transvestite etc. Think Madonna's dd Lourdes is called Lola. You could use it for Laura/Lauren/Laurel maybe?

Nah I ain't common Cuppa!

But then I'm a Laura originally and that is a superb name!

There are no Lola's that I know of in my area. It's a lovely name!

I personally wouldnt use it because of Kinks song.

I don't know any Lola's. I live in North Wales.

Yes.

Didn't Sara Cox call one of her kids Lola? To me it sounds like an ok nickname but chavvy as a proper name
