as a First Name
(Spanish) diminutive form of Lola. This was once quite common as a given name in its own right in America, with its large Hispanic population, but has since been overshadowed by its association with Vladimir Nabokov's novel Lolita (1955). The Lolita of the title is the pubescent object of the narrator's desires, and the name is now used as a generic term for any sexually precocious girl.
