NPPF--commentary--680--Lolita

[Paul Mackin]

K's remarks on the use of female names seem unexceptionable
enough--except that Lolita isn't exactly a "little-used Spanish name." 

Apparently there wasn't an actual (fictionally actual) Hurricane Lolita
in 1958 so K wonders why S chose this particular name. The question is
most likely unanswerable within the reality of the novel. The external
reason is obvious of course.
