What are your thoughts on the name Lola?

I love it. I don’t associate it as much with Nabokov’s [name]Lolita[/name] (thankfully) as with the Kinks’ [name]Lola[/name], and with the [name]German[/name] films Run [name]Lola[/name] Run, and Der Blaue Engel, in which [name]Marlene[/name] [name]Dietrich[/name] plays a femme-fatale cabaret singer named [name]Lola[/name]-[name]Lola[/name]. [name]Both[/name] are must-sees if you’re contemplating the name. It’s a pretty popular dog name here in NYC, but who cares? I’m using another popular dog-name with a similarly playful/flirty feeling ([name]Ginger[/name]) but I’m using it as a nickname for a longer, more serious name. Here are some possible full names for [name]Lola[/name]:

[name]Paloma[/name]
[name]Lorraine[/name]
[name]Lorelei[/name]
[name]Apollonia[/name]
[name]Clotilde[/name]
[name]Lovisa[/name]
[name]Heloise[/name]/[name]Eloise[/name]
[name]Elowen[/name]
[name]Lourdes[/name]

I think [name]Lola[/name] is very sweet, but names like [name]Lola[/name], [name]Layla[/name], [name]Lila[/name], [name]Lily[/name] are very popular right now so it just seems too “easy” for me, if that makes sense. I think it’d make a great nickname though! [name]How[/name] about [name]Nola[/name]? :slight_smile:

I love the name [name]Lola[/name]!! Thought about using it as a first name myself. I think it’s great. My Dh won’t go for it as the full name. We’re partial to the name [name]Eloise[/name] and have [name]Lola[/name] as a possible future nn :slight_smile: Which my dh is ok with! But I definitely think [name]Lola[/name] can stand on her own too. Bubbly and fun name, also very pretty.

I love [name]Lola[/name]. That’s my dog’s name… well her name is Lolabelle but we call her [name]Lola[/name] more often . But don’t get me wrong I love [name]Lola[/name] on a dog or a human. It’s cute and sassy, and it’s just such a cool name to have :slight_smile:

My daughters name is [name]Lola[/name] [name]Ryan[/name]. [name]Ryan[/name] after her daddy and it toughens it up a bit. I love it. Yes, it’s bubbly and fun but it suits her personality and that’s not a problem to me :slight_smile:
