Well, it's my nickname. My kid brother couldn't say Laura... no r sounds until he was almost 8. Lola was the closest he could come to my name and by the time he was 8, it had stuck. For me Lola's a big, fat, round name. Cosy, comfy & homey. Might be because I've been Lola for so long, it just doesn't scream blowsy to me; that's Lolita. ETA: I like it, but only as a nickname for something more elegant. It works for any L name. I think it's rather sad as a standalone though, there's nothing elegant about Lola.
