Perhaps this is neutral enough.
We have Lolita and the novel in JMnedict. I'm not sure Daijirin has this right. From what I'm seeing on WWW pages it could well be the name of a "girly" style of clothing.
I suggest changing ロリ to match.

②  転じて、少女。また、あどけない感じのする女の子。
(daijs, gg5 etc. only have the novel)
  Comments:
Lolita is defined in 英英 dictionaries available online 
as "precociously seductive girl", "sexually precocious 
girl", but daijr's definition is actually "あどけない" 
e.g. innocent. They use it together with 女の子 rather 
than the initial "少女" though which I guess is slightly 
more ambiguous than 少女 and can also be translated as 
"childish young woman".
_
Though the origin is the same, "Lolita" might actually 
not be a good translation of ロリータ, since there 
doesn't seem to be any nuance of precociousness, but 
possibly the opposite... but this is just what Daijr 
says though, I'm not sure how the actual usage looks 
like.
