Re: Lolita?
in reply to a message by BSchoer10
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.
