I never thought that either.
For Lolita, my response had nothing about you in particular, or that you were thinking about any of it consciously. It's more of an unconscious cultural thing. You are hardly alone in thinking that Lolita has "bad girl" vibes, even though the original character was a victim. I've felt that way about the name myself. I get the knee jerk "bad girl" gut feeling about it, due to cultural associations I've seen, and then I have to remind myself that she was actually a victim of terrible abuse.
