I would not say it is usable.
I don't mind Lola, though. It's an old family name for me, given before the modern connotation formed.

There's Lolita Davidovich, Canadian movie and tv actress.Perhaps not well known, but I see from Wikipedia that she's been in steady work for years.

Nope. Nabokov aside, lolitas also = Japanese girls in deeply hideous wedding-cake dresses, like this:

Count me as a Lolita fashion hater. It's "artistic" but so is lots of gross shit out there. Interesting ≠ good. I find it.... "tacky" is the laziest term that is still appropriate. Just hugely hugely tacky.

aw, I'm surprised.

Oh yeah it's good hideous. I love the way it takes the piss out of conventional notions of femininity. And I'd 1000000x rather see one of these than some identikit pole-dancing beach-bodied booty-caller type.
Still hideous though.:D

I can see your point. It's pink overload, and that's coming from someone who LOVES pink.

I don't think the point of Lolita fashion is to look good . I think it's more to turn heads and be artistic.

I love the Lolita fashion things! They're like walking art.

Sorry, but no.
That's a name with way, way too many negative connotations to use. While probably not on the exact same level as Lucifer, it's still... yeah, no.
Lola is fine, though. I mean with that, you just have the song to worry about. :-)

no...
It is not. Even people that haven't read the book or seen the movie know the meaning of the word, more often than not.

Lolita has become synonymous with a certain kind of woman because of the novel. It may not be heard all of the time, but once in a while you hear of someone being called a 'Lolita', like the 'Long Island Lolita', Amy Fisher, who had an affair with a married man when she was 17 and then tried to kill his wife.

Ditto, 100%
Not so much the 'meaning', but the association. It's kinda fetishistic.
Let's be honest, even minus the association, I wouldn't like the name. It's silly, childish, dollish and immature. Twee. Girlish to the point of wantonly weird. I don't like Lola and I hate Lolita.
Not because I'm one of those prudes who go 'LOLITA! EW! NABUKOV WAS A PAEDO!', but because the name isn't all that pretty and the public pop-culture link has very much made it no-go.
