Help...trying to decide between Phoebe, Lois and Ava as our girls name.

Which would you choose out of the three?

Ava

Lois!

Ad a is gorgeous, Phoebe is nice. I don't like Lois

Lois is my favorite---it is a really beautiful name. Phoebe is nice enough. Ava is inoffensive but there are a lot of them and a lot of similar sounding names at the moment.

I love Ava and Phoebe! Lois is nice but I just think of the boy name Louis

Phoebe is lovely

I once taught a very stroppy Lois which has rather put me off the name. I like Ava and love Phoebe.

Lovely choices! They're on my list too - there's just something about Lois I love - I think that's my favourite!

English "lowiss" or welsh "loyce"?
Ava is very popular, along with Ada, eva, evie...
.phoebe I can never remember how to spell, but I do like it.
I would probably go with phoebe

Robs20 · 19/04/2020 13:47

I love Lois!

lalachicky · 19/04/2020 13:46

Lois is lovely and I also really like Phoebe.

ellenpartridge · 19/04/2020 13:46

Ava is by far the nicest. Phoebe is OK. Lois I don't like at all.

Spied · 19/04/2020 13:45

Lois

villamariavintrapp · 19/04/2020 13:44

Lois. I love it

OnlyFoolsnMothers · 19/04/2020 13:44

Phoebe for me!

I know way too many Avas and Lois to me is too old fashioned.
