Just as the title says. What do you think of Lois and Lana as siblings? TIA.

I dislike the matchy-matchiness of it.

The alliteration I am not keen on, but the double-whammy of the names being the same length too tips the combination into the categories of 'per rabbit names'.

Sorry. Both names are fine individually.

I don't like it when siblings share a first initial

makes it very confusing when they start getting post!

My Dd is Lana and my dog is Lois- is that ok? The dog was named before we got her iffy our defence, no superman fans here!

dilly is that because of what it spells backwards? My DD walks around saying her name backwards and has no idea what it means! Grin

I would think you were a big fan of Smallville.

fluffy yes!! I hadn't even noticed that til I read it on another thread.

They do look like Lois Lane together, a bit samey.

Too late on the Lana front, dilly, she's very much is existence and tearing up my livingroom as I type. Not fans of Superman/Smallville at all, just polling to see who makes the connection. DH bothered by it more than me, but Lois is the only name we both love for DD2 - and we have argued over discussed loads.

The way I see it, they are not paired for life so it doesn't really matter. If you like the name, go for it. Not everyone will get the superman connection.
