Lula Mae Blocton is an American abstract artist and painter and emeritus professor of East Connecticut State University. A University of Michigan alumna, she is the second Black graduate to receive a fine arts degree from the university. Her work is exhibited throughout the United States and internationally.
Louisiana "Lula" Owl Gloyne (1891 – 1985) was an American nurse. She was the first member of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians and perhaps the first Native American to become a registered nurse. She was the only Eastern Cherokee to serve as an officer in World War I.
Lula Hymes Glenn (1917-2016) was an American track and field athlete who tied the world record time for the 100-meter dash at 11.5 seconds in 1939. She was considered one of the fastest women in the world at the height of her athletic career.
This is my cousin's name and I love it! My name is Ursula so I kinda like other unusual names.

This is a quirky, funny name. It belongs to a free spirit, earthy kind of a woman. Perhaps an artist of some sort but not someone you would take seriously.

Lula is also a boys name in some countries. [noted -ed] Lula seems to be in use as a Portuguese and Spanish speaking name and on http://www.babynameshub.com/gendercompare.cfm?Name=Lula it says since 1880, a total of 33 boys have been given the name Lula. A famous male bearer of the name is Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva

Love this name. Lula was my great grandmother's name. She was the daughter of a Protestant Minister in Indiana and the youngest of 10 children. Half the people called her Lula and half Lulu. It was her given name not a nickname.

It sounds like the name of a southern blonde. I have no idea why. I prefer Luljeta though.

I can't picture this name on anyone who doesn't come from a rural area. It has "country bumpkin" written all over it.
My mother's name was Lula Mae. It is an older, outdated name of this century. My mom wasn't particularly fond of it. She was raised by farmers in rural Oklahoma in the 30's and 40's. Most Lula's are of African American decent. The name means "Famous Warrior". I don't think this name will stand the test of time and will fade in the future.
I much prefer the girl names Lulu and Lola. Maybe the name Lula may possibly grow on me in the future? Who knows?

My grandmother's name was Lula. It apparently wasn't a nickname for anything; it was simply "Lula". She was born, raised, and spent nearly her entire life in Puerto Rico, and while I know the name can be Spanish in origin, no one still among the living in my family knows whether or not it was actually supposed to mean anything on its own. I like the name because I've always associated it with my Hispanic grandmother, but I can see how it might come across as... "rural", used in an American sense, I guess.
It does sound rather country-esque, but I actually like it. It reminds me of "Breakfast at Tiffany's" where it's revealed that Holly Golightly's real name is Lula Mae.
My great grandmother's name was Lula (although it got pronounced "Lulie" because she lived in the hills of Eastern Kentucky.) Anyway, I think it's quite nice.
In the past, the name Lula was often given the nickname Lulie. This is especially evident in census records. The name Lula, however, was never pronounced as LOO-lee, even in the hills of Eastern Kentucky.
