Gorgeous girl. Lara.

Thewalrusandthecarpenter · 01/09/2024 11:33

She's absolutely beautiful. I think she looks like a Lara.

Okokokok29 · 01/09/2024 11:30

Absolutely beautiful. Congratulations. Love Lara Felicity.X

I have a Lara who is now a young adult. It's a great name. There are surprisingly few Laras around.

KirstenBlest · 01/09/2024 11:25

She's gorgeous. Try out both and see what suits.
Lois would be my choice, and I don't think there'll be an issue unless you are in Wales ('Loyce' seems more prevalent there) or outside the UK.

Lara will blend into into the Clara and Lyra-type names and might seem samey.

Lara - no debate about the pronunciation like there is with Lois
( Low-iss v Loyce)

Both nice names. I slightly prefer Lara but like Laura even more.
She's beautiful!

Congratulations OP, she's beautiful.

I'm not much help on the name front though as I love both those names!

Goodness it's such a difficult decision, I'm so indecisive. Who do you think she looks like? Lara or Lois?

I think Lara Felicity flows better.

Lois is a lovely name too though.

BoleynMemories13 · 31/08/2024 22:55

Definitely Lara. I've always found Lois to be very drab, personally.

Lara Felicity is lovely.

LiquoriceAllsorts2 · 31/08/2024 22:36

Hard to choose, both nice. What about Lana?
