Names like Lola?

Girl Names
1

(Not planning on adding any more kiddos to the family in the near future, but since I was on nameberry yesterday, thought I’d pop back in to ramble and hypothesize about the ifs of names!)

[name]Lola[/name] was a name I threw around quite a bit back when we were beginning the process with our first child, and its always kind of been stuck in my mind even though I know that it won’t work with our family anymore.

Any suggestions of girls’ names that are of a similar style to [name]Lola[/name] (not sure how to pinpoint it exactly…) but maybe of a different sound? We have a son named [name]Milo[/name] and two daughters named [name]Tessa[/name] and [name]Rae[/name], so hypothetically something that would fit in nicely with those three.

[name]Just[/name] being wistful and wondering (and also gathering a new favorite names list), so throw any name my way that you could see matching up well with a little [name]Lola[/name]!

Thanks,
[name]David[/name]

Using the “Lo” beginning (& could all have “[name]Lola[/name]” as a nn if you like):
*[name]Lorelle[/name]
*[name]Loren[/name] (my favourite middle name)
*[name]Louisa[/name]
*[name]Lolita[/name]
*Loella
*[name]Lottie[/name]

Using the “la” ending:
*[name]Arabella[/name]
*Astala
*[name]Alexandra[/name]
*Amala
*[name]Angela[/name]
*[name]Layla[/name]/[name]Laila[/name]
*[name]Ola[/name]
*[name]Karla[/name]
*[name]Leela[/name]
*[name]Bella[/name]
*[name]Ella[/name]
*[name]Willa[/name]

As [name]Lola[/name] is of Spanish origin (derived from [name]Delores[/name]), I found some other Spanish girls names. I got a little carried away with this list! Spanish names are my latest obsession! [name]Even[/name] better, many of them end in “a”, like [name]Lola[/name]:
*[name]Adalina[/name]
*[name]Adora[/name]
*[name]Aleta[/name]
*[name]Aracelis[/name]
*[name]Isadora[/name]
*[name]Angelica[/name]
*[name]Benita[/name]
*[name]Camila[/name]
*[name]Carmen[/name]
*[name]Consuela[/name] (love this, as a first or middle name)
*[name]Dorita[/name]
*[name]Rosemarie[/name]
*[name]Eloisa[/name]
*[name]Isabel[/name]
*[name]Juanita[/name]
*[name]Leticia[/name]
*[name]Lucinde[/name]/a
*[name]Matilde[/name]
*[name]Coleta[/name]

I hope this helps :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

I like [name]Lola[/name], but I think all the [name]Lilly[/name]'s have sort of worn out the double L sound.

I have been tossing [name_f]Lola[/name_f] around myself, but know a [name_f]Dolores[/name_f] I am far from fond of.

Names like [name_f]Lola[/name_f] for me are:

[name_f]Lora[/name_f]
[name_f]Loralei[/name_f]
[name_f]Lona[/name_f]
[name_f]Liliana[/name_f]
[name_f]Lila[/name_f]
[name_f]Lena[/name_f]

Other names I love:

[name_f]Isadora[/name_f]
[name_f]Victoria[/name_f]
[name_f]Elspeth[/name_f]
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f]
[name_f]Brynn[/name_f]

[name_f]Nola[/name_f]
Could be short for [name_f]Finola[/name_f], [name_f]Fenella[/name_f], or [name_f]Finula[/name_f].

To be honest I don’t see why [name_f]Lola[/name_f] wouldn’t work with your other kids’ names! I think it fits in just fine.

[name_f]Lola[/name_f] is a darling name and I like it a lot. Names with a similar vibe:

[name_f]Leela[/name_f]
[name_f]Roxy[/name_f]
[name_u]Bliss[/name_u]
[name_f]Elle[/name_f]
[name_f]Willo[/name_f]
[name_f]Poesy[/name_f]
[name_f]Serena[/name_f]
[name_f]Zoey[/name_f]
[name_f]Olive[/name_f]
[name_f]Pearl[/name_f]
[name_u]Ruby[/name_u]
[name_f]Buffy[/name_f]
[name_u]Wren[/name_u]
[name_f]Lark[/name_f]
[name_u]Winter[/name_u]
[name_f]Marnie[/name_f]
[name_u]Lou[/name_u]

[name_f]Lola[/name_f] is so sweet. To me its has a very retro nickname feel like:
[name_f]Sadie[/name_f]
[name_f]Gracie[/name_f]
[name_f]Etta[/name_f]
[name_u]Ruby[/name_u]
[name_f]Hattie[/name_f]
[name_f]Stella[/name_f]
[name_f]Evie[/name_f]
[name_f]Poppy[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f]
[name_f]Molly[/name_f]
[name_f]Betsy[/name_f]/[name_f]Betty[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosie[/name_f]
[name_f]Maisie[/name_f]
[name_f]Coco[/name_f]
[name_u]June[/name_u]
[name_f]Cora[/name_f]

I also think it would work in the same category as [name_f]Lyra[/name_f], [name_f]Nova[/name_f], [name_f]Lilou[/name_f] and [name_f]Oceane[/name_f].
