Help[Opinions] Manola
What are your thoughts on Manola? While reading a film review by Manohla Dargis of The New York Times, I was reminded of the male names Imanol, Manol, and Manolo, which led me to investigate the female form, Manola. Now I'm smitten! It's mellifluous without being flighty, which is my chief criterion for quality names.
Here are some combos that delight me:
Manola Bathsheba
Manola Beatrice / Beatrix
Manola Bernadette
Manola Berenice
Manola Beryl
Manola Bethsabée
Manola Cecily
Manola Celestine
Manola Constance
Manola Cordelia
Manola Daphne

My first thought was that it looks like: granola, canola, manila, magnolia (so mostly it reminds me of food, beige/yellow, and office supplies).
And I think I like it more spelled with an H.
It's interesting, though. I'm just completely unfamiliar with it (as well as names like Imanol, Manolo).
Of the combos you listed, I like it best with...
Manola Bathsheba
Manola Beatrix
Manola Cecily
Manola Edmée
Manola Francesca
Manola Francisca
Manola Hephzibah
Manola Hester
Manola Miriam
Manola Peony
Manola Raphaëlle
Manola Semele
Manola Sigrid
Manola Tacita
Manola Tanith
Manola Vivien
Manola Winifred
Manola Xanthe

Manola, granola for men.

Care to provide a more substantive response? "Man" is not audible when you pronounce Manola, and "granola for men" is a meaningless construct that would never occur to me. Would it occur to others?

Or like Minolta, the camera.
While I'm at it, Imanol/Emanol, which you also mention, has a very strong medicinal whiff about it, due to ol being a common ending sound in the names of drugs. Geritol, Midol, Timmalol.
