Anya

I'm surprised people are saying that Anya is more popular than Lois. There are two little Girls called Lois in my DD's school but I have never met a child Anya. Lois is popular along with Edith and Iris and Clara and other "old lady chic" names.

Both lovely names.

Lois, I think.

lois - my DF wanted to call me this (after superman's girlfriend) and I'm still a little bit Sad that DM didn't go for it

I like both, but am leaning towards Lois... Not a name I've come across for a while.

Both very pretty names 😀 Lois slightly less popular but I do know one aged 5 and name suits her very well.

Lois. I know a 5 year old Lois, only one I've ever met I think. And she's lovely.

Not too keen on Anya.
