Lois is devine!

MelodyMalone · 21/08/2024 12:22

I like them all!

Anya - great character from Buffy. (She's an ex-demon, but so what?)

I like Sadie too. And Lois.

Hard to say without knowing the surname.

Anya

Sadie! I love that name!!

Sadie

Anya

I love Anya, but there are so many ways of pronouncing it. I like Arn-ya, but many it’s An-ya or even Anna. Which would it be?

Lois is lovely. Sadie is a dogs name

🎵🎶 sexy Sadie, what have you done?
You made a fool of everyone
You broke the rules
You laid it down for all to see.

Sadie

Lois.

DramaAlpaca · 21/08/2024 01:01

Not Sadie, definitely not.

I prefer Anna to Anya, and Louise to Lois, but both are nice enough so one of those.

SnowFrogJelly · 21/08/2024 00:56

Anya

theduchessofspork · 21/08/2024 00:44

Lois by miles. Love it

I don’t mind the other two but don’t love them - Anya always sounds like a faffy version of the elegant Anna. Sadie has a certain grubby mid century charm, but there’s something morning after about it.

BogusHocusPocus · 20/08/2024 23:16

Sadie makes me think of Sadist

Anya sounds a bit modern / like a fashionable name, even if it isn't.

Lois is my favourite. But as many have already said, I like Anna even more.

Daisybuttercup12345 · 20/08/2024 23:13

Lois.
Sadie looks sad and Anya sounds like an' yer (and your).
I like Anna.

JamSanger · 20/08/2024 22:51

I love your taste. All gorgeous names.

I think I’d go for Lois by a whisker. Classy name.

Mumofgirls2017 · 20/08/2024 22:49

Sadie

anya is ok, not a fan of Lois

okydokethen · 20/08/2024 20:29

Sadie is so so beautiful!!

Dressinggowntime · 20/08/2024 20:29

Anya

Raininginparadise2 · 20/08/2024 20:27

I prefer Lois from your list. Also prefer Anna to Anya.

sel2223 · 20/08/2024 20:20

Love all 3 names OP. Hopefully you can narrow it down to 2, then (if you have a girl) see which one suits her best

CharmingGeorge · 20/08/2024 20:04

Anya

timoteigirl · 20/08/2024 20:02

If I have to choose one of them, then Sadie.

Sethera · 20/08/2024 19:48

Lois
