Lola

What girl names do you think go well with Lola?

And what do you think of the name Lola?

At first I hated the name, it reminded me of a stripper. Not a particular one, there are just certain names that I think fall into a category like "stripper or extremely sexy/sexual lady". (Think Phoenix, Chastity, Lola, etc.)

Anyway, the more I think about it the more I like it and I hate to admit that I now have a full fledged love for the name, but I can't use it because its already been used in my family.

I know, it is such a beautiful name, it took awhile to grow on me but for some reason I am just madly in love with it now, but sadly I can't use it :(

I can't think of any good sibsets either and it is driving me insane, nothing seems to sound right. Maybe I like the name too much but the names I think of either don't fit well with Lola, or they just pale in comparison.

My husband just came up behind me, peered over my shoulder at your post, and started singing the Lola song.

Lol, thats all my mom sings too is the song about the transvestite. When she does that, it reminds me that I probably really wouldn't use the name even if it hadn't already been used in my family.

The saddest part is that my mom is like a useless trivia guru and can come up with at least one song, rhyme or reason why NOT to use almost any name. Haha.

We liked the name Lola so much we named our Pug dog Lola.
I call her Lo Lo B :)

I really like the name Lola, but then I always think of how it means "grandmother" in Tagalog.

I like Lola as a nickname. I don't think it's good as a given name, because I don't think it grows on a girl.

My great-aunt's name was Lola. If this helps, her siblings were: Melvin (my grandfather), William/Bill, Betty, Wesley.

It reminds me of "Copacabana" by Barry Manilow or, obviously, "Lola" by The Kinks.

Being named after a song is one thing, like in my case "Melissa" by The Allman Brothers, it's a flattering song. But I used to be roommates with a Roxanne. She hated being associated with the Police song- and she wasn't even named after it.

I think it's a pretty name but I'd use it on a pet or something- my best friend named one of his cats Lola!

I think Lola is fine as a nickname, not a full name. It's certainly better than Chastity (or even worse, Chasity).

I myself cannot use it for personal reasons. Least of them being the Kinks song.

I think Lola is cute, but it sounds so posh. I think it'd be right at home with those kind of girls' names like Ruby, Lucy, Millie, and Poppy.

I like the sound of it a lot, when I can turn the song off in my head! but I wouldn't use it on its own - to me it's a diminutive eg for Dolores or Lauren.

I like it but I agree, I see the stripper thing too when I think about it.
