Help[Opinions] Re: Lolita
in reply to a message by TMyers
I'm from Spain, and here Lolita is not associated with that term. It's just another diminutive for the name (María) Dolores, which is very common. In fact, we have a flamenco singer named Lolita.
Outside Spain and Spanish-speaking Latin America, the association with the term, character and novel is prevalent since it's not a usual name in a non-Spanish context. Interestingly enough, it charted in Latvia between 1960 and 1975 and it enjoyed of moderate popularity in France between the mid-80s and early 2000s.
As for the name itself, it's too cutesy. I prefer Lola.
