Lois

How would you pronounce Lois!
Low-iss, or Loyce?
I've heard it both ways don't like either sorry

MamaLazarou · 11/07/2015 09:22

Is Mila pronounced 'Meel-uh'?

I love Lois, one of my favourite names.

Don't like Marley for a girl at all. It would be a good name for a shaggy dog.

Mila Grin

TheDowagerCuntess · 11/07/2015 01:54

I actually like Marley best, and think all other associations will fade away as she becomes the name.

Mila is ubiquitous, and getting a bit over-used and tired now. Will likely date. Lois is fine.

They are all lovely names. Wait till you meet her and maybe you will know then.

wigglylines · 11/07/2015 01:47

Mila

Pandora37 · 11/07/2015 01:45

Where I pronounce Mila as mee-la. Might be wrong though!

I like Lois the best.

TheJunctionBaby · 11/07/2015 01:45

Mila! I cosidered this for dd3 :-)

Quasilulu · 11/07/2015 01:43

Lois

Wheresthattoo · 11/07/2015 00:46

Is Mila Meal-a or Mile-a or something else?

littlejohnnydory · 11/07/2015 00:32

Lois - but only pronounced low-iss. It will be pronounced to rhyme with 'voice' in Wales.

ToGrapefruit · 10/07/2015 23:50

I love Mila. I had/have some Czech relations called that, really lovely name.

Lois- nice, I like it. Feels quite unusual now, yet very 'well known' from Superman!

Marley, ooo, not sure at all... Dickensian ghost or a dog or the late great Bob! For a boy, this could work better. For a girl, not keen. Sorry!

Snowflakepie · 10/07/2015 23:48

Mila. Love it. I know a little Milla and she is gorgeous. Lois is a bit harsh IMO, and Marley is a dog. An actual dog, not a jibe btw.

ErrolTheDragon · 10/07/2015 23:46

Lois and Mila are both nice.

Marley is either a dog, a rasta or a Dickensian ghost. Just no.

ButterflyOfFreedom · 10/07/2015 23:43

Lois.

MitzyLeFrouf · 10/07/2015 23:28

Well I like Marley best!

Lois is a bit plain and Mila is one of those Mia/Mya/Maya names that all blend in to one.

I agree with marley it does remind me of a dog but i like it in a weird way. Lois is my favourite!

Marley will always be a dog as a pp said. Lois is good, have only ever known one. Apart from Lois Lane.

DramaAlpaca · 10/07/2015 23:15

Lois

GinUpGirl · 10/07/2015 23:14

Lois. I've only ever known beautiful and intelligent women called Lois.

mrsruffallo · 10/07/2015 21:58

Marley reminds me od Barley, which reminds me of stew.
