  1. Lola Mae was named after her great-great maternal grandmother, my “Nana“. My husband also had a grandmother “Lilla” and another grandmother “May“. It was too perfect to pass up.

    An interesting fact we found about her name is in the history. LOLA is a Spanish diminutive of the name DELORES which is from “Mar?a de los Delores” meaning “MARY OF SORROWS” (as in mother of Jesus) symbolizing grace and strength through many hardships.

    Lola Mae loves music, smiling, and snuggles.

  10. I chose the name Lola because it was my grandmothers name and she passed away. This is my first child and I’m not sure that I’ll have anymore girls so i wanted to make sure i honored her as soon as i could. I love Lola because it’s short, sweet && cute plus people always tell me that’s a different name or they would’ve never thought to name their daughter that. I don’t dislike anything about the name whatsoever. I Love My Lola
