Kelly Ripa reveals daughter Lola’s name was inspired by Barry Manilow’s ‘Copacabana’·
Explaining to co-host Ryan Seacrest, she said; “choosing the name Lola was “a surprise to all of us.”
“Lola was supposed to be Sophia, but on the way to the hospital in the taxi cab, the driver was listening to the radio — the 70s station — and ‘Copacabana’ by Barry Manilow was playing”.
“I heard that [lyric], when he said, ‘Her name was Lola,’ and I said to Mark, ‘Lola Consuelos would be a really cool name.’ And he said, ‘If she’s a girl, let’s name her Lola.’ And that was it,” Ripa said.
