Help[Opinions] Lola
What do you think of Lola? I thought it was going to be the new trendy celeb baby name, but it has gone down in popularity somewhat. I dislike the meaning so I wouldn't use it but I really like the sound. And what do you think of the similar sounding Pola?

Lola in tagalog means "Grandma." I'm a white American, but am married to an Asian man and that is what we will be calling my mom once the baby arrives.

No.
I said it once, I said it again, Lola isn't pretty - apart from on pets, and then it's sweet. On people, it makes me sad, and the more I see it the more I want to slam my head into a wall.
Pola is soooooo ugly looking and if it's said 'poh-lah'... jeeebs, I have nothing nice to say! I mean, properly horrific, utterly horrible. It makes me think of 'pox', 'polio' and so forth.
What about Paola? It's a little prettier in look and sound.

I think Lola sounds very childish, like a nickname a young child would have.

It sounds like a nickname and I usually don't like nicknames.

I don't like it at all. I think it sounds cheap and it also reminds me of the song by The Kinks.
I don't like Pola either, sorry. It just makes me think of polar bears!

lo lo lo lo lo --- laaa
I think it's awful.
Pola is alright. Because it's unfamiliar, it immediately makes me think of the word pole, and of Poland. But I could get used to it quickly - it's very namey and has a nice bright simple sound.

I just wish this name would not get brought up on here anymore. It seems to get asked about every month or more and the result is a long thread of people expressing strong hatred for the name and how it is the most horrible trashy name ever.
That being said, I disagree. I really like Lola, it was my great grandma's name and my cousin's name. Pola is alright but Apolonia or Paula is better.
