Lois?

Thoughts on Lois? I think it's sweet for a little girl and strong sounding for a woman. Underused but not 'out there'. What do you think? Do you know any?

I know one old lady Lois and one little girl Lois and they are both lovely. As a previous poster said it is inexplicably underused.

It's easy to spell and pronounce too!

Lovely

We had a patient with that name. She has learning and physical disabilities, but such a character, she brightened up the ward and made us cry with laughter many times. and we all loved her. So I like the name!

I know 3! One is a senior oncologist, one is a barrister and the other is a very talented artist! Based on that alone I'm convinced all Lois named women are very smart and lovely 😂

I know one in their mid-twenties. I really love it! Only downside for me would be potential family guy jokes. I think you're right about it coming across as sweet for a child but also a good, strong name for an adult 🙂

Love it. Inexplicably hardly used.

I love it. I know an adult one who is fabulous.

I know one, she’s maybe 10 by now. I like it a lot.
