I really don't like it. It sounds very childish to me. Sorry. I would choose Lola for a similar feel instead.

I think it's adorable. It feels very cool and metallic and navy blue. It's a neat image.

I find it very rednecky and childish. It reminds me of Lula Mae, Holly Golightly's real name before she went away from Texas.

SQUIDAnd the Brazilian President Lula Ignacio da Silva (who is male).Entirely unusable.I'd also choose Lola instead. It's got a much nicer ring to it, and it doesn't mean "squid" in a foreign language.

I share the "rednecky" image - it also sounds old-ladyish to me, like she might have peers Earlene and Cletus.I like the sound alright, though - I can see the appeal. I guess I'd rather see a girl named Tallulah choose it as a nickname, than Lula as a full name.

I know a little girl named Lula, and it's cute on her. Personally, I like Leela better.

I love Lula as an occasional nickname for Louisa, Louise, and the like.

A large improvement on Lola and technically a full nameIf some sites listing it as an Arabic name meaning stone/pearl are to be believed.Of course it makes a natural nickname for Tallulah and Louise etc..
