Is this name too tied or associated with [name_m]Vladimir[/name_m] Nabokov’s novel?
I am loving [name_f]Lolita[/name_f] at the moment! Its beautiful, charming, rolls of the tongue great and has the darling nn [name_f]Lola[/name_f] - which I love, but not that keen on other full names for it… Any other suggestions to get to [name_f]Lola[/name_f]?
[name_f]Lolita[/name_f] & [name_f]Lola[/name_f] are nicknames for [name_f]Dolores[/name_f] as far as I know 
I love [name_f]Lolita[/name_f] too
It’s almost singularly tied to the novel. [name_m]Even[/name_m] if someone hasn’t heard of the novel they know it to be connected to something sexual and taboo.
Maybe [name_f]Lorelai[/name_f] for [name_f]Lola[/name_f]?
Yes. That novel and its subject matter were quite the riot and still continue to be.
[name_f]Lolita[/name_f] is actually a diminutive / nickname of [name_f]Lola[/name_f] – following the common way of creating nicknames in Spanish. For example: [name_f]Juanita[/name_f] is a diminutive of [name_f]Juana[/name_f] basically meaning “little [name_f]Juana[/name_f]”, can be used as a given name, but yeah…anyway, catch my drift, nickname-y? In Nabokov’s novel it was a nickname for [name_f]Dolores[/name_f], who was also called [name_f]Lola[/name_f] and so on.
I think [name_f]Lola[/name_f] works as a given name. It’s an old family name in my family, not short for anything. I’ve also heard [name_f]Lola[/name_f] as a nickname for [name_f]Eloise[/name_f]. I honestly think it’d work for an “lo” name, as would the nn [name_f]Lolita[/name_f].
On another note, I sometimes call my [name_f]Luella[/name_f] “[name_f]Lulita[/name_f]” as in “[name_m]Little[/name_m] [name_f]Lu[/name_f]” so that’s an idea for any “[name_f]Lu[/name_f]” name.
[name_u]Shiloh[/name_u]
[name_u]Marlowe[/name_u]
Harlowe
[name_m]Lowell[/name_m]
The name is now in the dictionary is a term for a sexually active young girl, which originated from the incredibly disturbing novel. It has no real good association, so no, it’s not usable.
I would always associate this name with the negative meaning so I consider it unusable.
[name_m]Just[/name_m] sharing my opinion, there’s nothing wrong with the novel [name_f]Lolita[/name_f]; it’s just a fictional story. I’ve read it recently and I actually really liked it. And [name_f]Lolita[/name_f] is a very pretty name. If a person associates your daughter with the novel in a negative way, they’re just being jerks and who cares what they think. If you have a good feeling about the name, follow your heart
It is too tied to the novel and not useable in my opinion. [name_f]Lola[/name_f] is darling though and other ways to get there are with [name_f]Leola[/name_f], [name_f]Viola[/name_f] or [name_u]Nicola[/name_u], using the nn [name_f]Lola[/name_f].
I love the name [name_f]Lolita[/name_f] too - but I think unfortunately it is too tied to sex. [name_m]Even[/name_m] if you haven’t read the novel (I have), you know that it’s linked to sex. The very name has now come to mean sexually active girl. I think it would be too much for a kid to carry.
I do also love the name [name_f]Lola[/name_f] as well. I think it can work on its own but if I was going to give someone a formal name with the nickname [name_f]Lola[/name_f], I’d go with [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] (even if it is a bit of a stretch).
I like [name_f]Lola[/name_f] on its own. I used to nanny for a [name_f]Lola[/name_f] (her sister is named [name_f]Stella[/name_f]). But it could work for any name with Lo in it I think. [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] nn [name_f]Lola[/name_f], eloise nn [name_f]Lola[/name_f], [name_u]Loren[/name_u] nn [name_f]Lola[/name_f].
I think the name is still tied in with the novel. The only way to change it and remove any negative connotations is for people to use it. More [name_f]Lola[/name_f]'s and [name_f]Lolita[/name_f]'s would work to normalize the name. I think a lot of names work to get to [name_f]Lola[/name_f] and [name_f]Lolita[/name_f], many already mentioned. I currently have [name_f]Lola[/name_f] as nn to [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] and [name_f]Florence[/name_f]. [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] could get to [name_f]Lola[/name_f]. Perhaps also [name_f]Leona[/name_f]. I could easily see an [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] being called [name_f]Lola[/name_f].
I agree with a PP that even those who haven’t read the novel know that [name_f]Lolita[/name_f] has a connection to a sexualized child. That makes it a very taboo name choice. The [name_f]Lolita[/name_f] in the book was named [name_f]Dolores[/name_f] and was sometimes called [name_f]Lola[/name_f] or Lo. I think [name_f]Dolores[/name_f] is underused and nice. I think [name_f]Lola[/name_f] has a more subtle sexual vibe for some as well, but it’ s so common now I think only older generations would think of it. [name_f]Lita[/name_f] or [name_f]Leda[/name_f] might be a name you would like.
I’ve always been sad [name_f]Lolita[/name_f] has such a negative connotation too… such a pretty name 
I love [name_f]Lolita[/name_f] too, but it is much too tied to the book
I love [name_f]Lolita[/name_f]! My partner was 100% convinced it should be the name for our 3rd baby. I had to say no way… Can’t do that to my baby girl, sadly! He had never heard of the whole [name_f]Lolita[/name_f] thing! Such a pretty name, such a shame!
