Lulu
About Lulu
Lula has a firecracker personality, a singing and dancing extrovert. Interesting that Lulu was a Top 100 name when the Social Security list was born in 1880, but it's been sliding ever since and has not been in the Top 1000 for decades. Modern parents in love with Lulu might well reverse that trend.
Lulu is the now grown daughter of musicians Edie Brickell and Paul Simon. In the Swinging London sixties, Lulu was a popular single-named Scottish singer--whose birth name was Marie.
As of October 2026, Lulu ranked #3194 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #76 in 1881, Nameberry popularity #611.
Editor's take: The name Lulu is a girl's name of Arabic origin meaning "pearl".
