I went through a brief phase of thinking it was cute. It seemed kind of bohemian to me when I was young and because I was surrounded by people with such traditional names, the bohemian appealed.

I feel like for a while it was trendy in Hollywood and then it sort of died out. I think because people realized that it's actually not substantial enough to be a real name. Also, I think the name fizzled out because of the negative associations people have with the name Lola. Lola is a "coquette," a temptress, Humbert's victim in Lolita. The name has baggage.
