ummm, it's pretty but its sound like a little girly nickname.
Lolita is a nn for Lola
It means "little Lola". So I prefer Lola.
Though Lola is really a nn for Dolores :)

Light of my life, fire of my loins? No.

My sentiments exactly. Lolita is forever tainted.
Nabokov ruined the name for most people--a Lolita is a young girl who is sexually active in common parlance. It also reminds me of Japanese street fashion, as in the style Elegant Gothic Lolita--the point of that style of dress is to look like a child.
I prefer Dolores, which is very pretty.

Get into the car
We'll be the passenger
We'll ride through the city tonight
See the city's ripped insides
We'll see the bright and hollow sky
We'll see the stars that shine so bright
The sky was made for us tonight

agree..
.. not only is a Lolita "a young girl who is sexually active," but one who is provocative to / active with much older, adult men. Seems like the mother of a 12-year old daughter named Lolita ought to be ridiculously paranoid, as well as it being an embarrassing name to have for a college-age woman.

Its not my style it sounds a little nicknamey to me and I just dont like the associations
I think a lot of celebrities are using the name. Or maybe it's Lola?
I think it's Lola. Denise Richards (Charlie Sheen's ex-wife) named their daughter Lola.
Lolita is really nmsaa... I think maybe because I hate the name Lola (for personal reasons) and maybe it is because they are kinda close.. I am not really sure?
