Comments for the name Lala

I love Lala. I think it's beautiful.

My name is Charlotte and my mum calls me Lala sometimes. (And no, I don't have any idea how you get "Lala" from "Charlotte.")

The Bulgarian word for "tulip" is "lale" (the stress is on the "e"). In Bulgaria besides "Lala" (the stress is on the first "a"), another feminine name with the same root "lal" is the name "Lalka" (the stress is on the first "a").

"Lala" and "Lalka" have a nameday on Palm Sunday (the Sunday before Easter) - the day of flowers and willows (the names of the other trees also have a nameday).

The word "lale", which means "tulip", has a Persian origin. Till now "Lale" is one of the most popular feminine names in Iran. The first information about the "lale" is connected to Persia. The flower is praised by many Persian poets. For Persians it became a symbol of a declaration of love and perfect love. The most beautiful street in Tehran, which is the centre of theatrical art, is called "Lalezar", meaning "tulip garden".

Lala is the name of my cousin's poodle. I don't think it's a suitable name for a person though.

Lala is the name of the yellow teletubby.

This name makes me think of a blond crazy-looking pale girl walking in circles.

Lala is a DJ on the radio station 98pxy. (Lala and Alicia)

Wait, Lala, like la la la la la. That's a name?

Lala is a cute name, but I would never name my kid that. It is very different for one thing!

My best friend's name is Lauren and I call her "Lala." A lot of people know her that way by now. I think it's a lovely name, but I'm probably a little biased.

It is wierd.

It really just reminds of me Tellytubbies. I can't picture anything else besides a funny looking yellow person with a grey TV screen on its stomach.
Fine as a nickname for someone, like a Leila or Alannah, but not as an actual name.

I highly doubt that anyone named Lala would be considered highly intelligent.

This name is actually pronounced like Layla.

Don't name your kid this. Seriously. "Oh, look, Lala's not paying attention, she's in Lala Land." Or, "Lala, are you a singer?" Come on, people.

What an awful name, the only people who have this name must have clueless parents.

If you happen to be Bulgarian and living in Bulgarian, that's fine. But if you live in an English-speaking country like I do - this name is a definite NO.

I was bored and just typed "Lala" into the search box. (I do that a lot in the address box, just type in lalalala.) I really didn't expect anything to come up!

In Iranian and Turkish, this name sounds lovely. But in English, Lala sounds just wrong, not to mention it's associated with a Teletubby.

I'm one of those people who likes to give ridiculous nicknames to their friends. I went to school with a girl named Amber but my friend Tarah and I decided to nickname her Lala (for no real reason other than she liked flowers and was very nature-y). I love the sound of this name when it's pronounced with the stress on the first syllable. It sounds almost wild but not fierce. Very free and unrestrained.

I really like this name, it's quite dreamy and gorgeous. I would not name my daughter Lala, it's a little TOO weird and sing-song-y.

My name is Lala. It was hard in Elementary School where kids are immature and judge you by your name. But as we grow up we look past names and faces (at least most of us). I'm 25 now, and good looking may I add. I like my name, it's unique and people always ask about it. Why not!?
