The first name 
Lolita

Lolita is a first name for girls.

Lolita – one in 100,000!

There’s a good chance that a girl named Lolita in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Lolita in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Lolita by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Lolita ranks at #6,266. That means there are 6,265 more common girls names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Lolita.
