Lola

So, what does everyone think of the name Lola? I've become quite smitten with it recently. My only reservations regarding it are that, first of all, it feels like it should be a nickname. I checked around online, and I've found that it's commonly used as a nickname for Dolores, which I really, really am not fond of. Secondly, it is very much a Spanish name, and I am very much not Hispanic. Would that seem "weird" or "off" to you guys?

And, just as a standard disclaimer - I am not pregnant, nor do I plan on having children any time soon. I just love names. A lot.

I can see the appeal, though it's nms. Does remind me of the song, which is a great song but possibly not the best association.

Do think it's OK to stands alone, there other similiar* names that are reasonably common so it would be too noticeable.

Hmm it should be fine, people are more open to using names from other cultures. It may sound a bit odd for a blond blue-eyed girl, but a brunette [of any ethnicity] could carry it off.
