  Contact 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!

  Contact 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) www.poppysparkles.co.uk Handcrafted Jewellery + Accessories Twitter ~ Facebook ~ Blog

  Contact 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

  kirsty01/08/08 Joined on 28-Jan-2007 United Kingdom Posts 815	Contact 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.

  Contact 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.

  Cedar Joined on 06-Jun-2007 United Kingdom Posts 5,182	Contact 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.
