Whats your views on thiese girls names?

Hello!!  Hubbie and I were discussing girls names, and want your views.  He loves

Lola Rose (Our surname begins with H)

Others are:

Darcy Sarah

Holly

Maisie

What do you think?  I like Lola, but wonder if its too out there?  Any other suggestions?  Cheers!!! 

I'm showing my age, but Lola just makes me think of the Kinks song "....she walked like a woman and talked like a man, oh my Lola."

And the other two sound a bit more like pet names (not names for a pet, just informal names) and don't have much gravitas if she wants to go on to be say, the Director of Public Prosecutions etc etc.

Sorry, I know that's not what you want to hear, but you did ask for opinions!

I think Lola is nice - and really like it with Rose!  Our surname begins with H too and Im feeling like I should steer clear of H first names......what do you think?  I know you had Holly on your list and I like that too. 

Its soo hard!!!!!!

I love the name Lola and would have used it for one of my twins if we didn't have as surname which includes lot's of L's.

I love Maisie  and like both Darcy and Holly. We must have similar taste!

A friends wee girl is called Lola Blue and I think its a gorgeous name.

isn't lola rose a handbag company or something?

i like holly and maisie, but darcy reminds me of kate fricking garraway, and she winds me up big time

Oh i like it - lola rose, lola is too out there for my H but i would consider it if not x

Our surname begins with D and obviously we have a Daisy.  I love same initial names and think Daisy Drummond goes well.

cheers everyone for your comments.  I initialy thought of the song, Lola, she was a show girl dadadadadada....but then its kinda grown on me......!  Still abit to go yet before I start panicking about a name, but need to start thinking!

Lola makes me want to sing "Her name was Lola, she was a show girl" - sorry! 

HOlly - like it, but it's my parents' dog's name

Darcy - different, but like it

Maisie - not sure

I'm being honest, which I presume is what you want.  It's hard choosing names, isn't it?  Think we're finally settled on Poppy May (due day is 11/11 - Poppy Day)

Is Lola "out there"?  I thought that Charlie & had (over) familiarised it.  Although I think it's pretty, I wouldn't name my daughter a name that's so strongly associated with a cartoon.  Zippy and Bungle are out as well...  I also associate it with the Barry Manilow song too much too.  I'd also personally avoid Rose as a middle name, because everyone* is giving it as a middle name at the moment.  It's the Ann or Lousie of the late 00s!

Holly and Maisie - pretty, but a bit too pet name like for me.

Darcy Sarah - nice names individually, but I don't like them together.

*slight exageration

I love the name Lola Rose, think it's beautiful.

Holly is a favourite name of mine too and i don't think there's a problem with having a name with the same initial as your surname. Our surname begins with O and our current favourite is Olivia.

Another one who always thinks of the Kinks whenever I hear Lola, which is why although I like the name I couldn't name my child it as to me it will always remind me of a song about a tranny - sorry prob not what you wanted to hear.

I like Darcy and Holly but not keen on Maisie.

None of them are names I'd say I love though.

Lola has become more popular as a girl's name in recent years. So although it might make you think of 'Her name was Lola, etc' I think it will be just another name to children of the same age. 

I know a Darcey - its pretty and makes me think of Darcey Bussell.

Holly and Maisie are both lovely names as well. Holly is quite popular. Depends if you want something unusual or not.

back to the drawing board eh?!  Thanks for your views xx
