I happen to love the name Lulu. It's so uncommon these days, because it is old fashioned. Some of the older names are the best names out there. I like it especially as a nickname for Luanne.
I think Lulu is an adorable name for a little girl. It's so feminine and pretty!

Okay, this name might be cute. It might be the most adorable thing you've ever seen. But future parents. Can you imagine your poor daughter with this name? In preschool it wouldn't be so bad, Middle school is when the trouble would start to kick in. Then high school and college. "Lulu Smith" written on the diploma. Then when she gets a job and they page her. "Lulu to the front desk, Lulu to the front desk". I'm sorry, but I am really just against naming your daughter this. And if you must, just use it as a nickname, or a middle name!

Oh dear. Where to start. I think Lulu is a nice name for a poodle, that's all. Um. I'm not trying to be rude, but I think Lulu is a really bad name for a human being. So if your name is Lulu, I feel really really bad for you.
Yea I totally agree with flyingbanana. Lulu is a perfect name. For a dog! Actually I think it would make any dog out there seem adorable. Also this name would fit nicely for a cat as well. Um. No offence to all the Lulus out there!
I cannot imagine naming my child Lulu. It's such a little girl name, and barely that. It's really more of a pet name than anything else, just like Fifi. It has no dignity.
It's a cute nickname for a little girl, but utterly infantile for a woman, and even for a 12-year-old girl, it would already sound too immature. It's a bit hard to imagine a woman with a PhD named Lulu, and someone with this name would, indeed, have difficulty being taken seriously.
My family has always used this as a pet name for the vagina. And my friend used it as the name of her baby blanket. It's just too cutesy and childish. I could never imagine calling a person that.

I think that this name sounds somewhat immature, but it would still be okay as a nickname for Louise or the like.

Can be also a nickname for Lucrezia/Lucretia. I like it as nickname although its a bit tacky.

Sounds stupid, and retarded. Who would name their child that? I hate this name.
I think Lulu is a cute nickname but can't really stand as a full name. I agree that the person wouldn't be taken seriously. And just so you know there are other ways to say a name doesn't sound good than retarded. That is very offensive to some people.
My nickname happens to be Lulu. I think it's spunky and playful. Maybe not a good given name but it depends on the personality of the one you're naming.
Of COURSE one would not use this as a full name. But as a nickname for Louise, Louisa, etc. I think it's cute. I like it; it reminds me of Louise Brooks. I wonder if people who hate this name would like Lola better? That seems to be a trendy-ish name right now.
My nickname was Lulu when I was younger. I don't know where I came up with it, seeing as my first name is Jazmine. Some of my friends and family still call me that to tease, or annoy me, even though I don't mind it anymore! :P
I love Lulu. It is one of the cutest, spunkiest nicknames I've ever heard. It is a little hard to imagine a Dr. Lulu or anything, but I think of Lulus as artists or teachers anyway. I like it as a nickname for Luna, Lucy, Lucinda, Lucia, Luise/Louise, Luisa/Louisa, and basically ANY name that starts with Lu-/Lou- can be made better by being "Lulu."
I'd avoid this name, although I think it's pretty. I'm a pre-school teacher, and in my school, three children (from different families) said "I have to Lulu" when they wanted to use the restroom (we're working on having them use the word "restroom" or "bathroom"). Also, some people call the restroom the "loo." I think I'd stick to other pretty "L" names like Lucy, Lila, Leela, Lyra, Lily. Growing up can be difficult enough for some kids without burdening them with a name that has the possibility of being used that way.

I think this name is too childish for an adult. Yeah sure, for a toddler it is cute but imagine that child getting a job and having to live with such a Disney-like name!
