Oooh, I like Stella! Not so keen on Lois, a bit American.

I like them both, but prefer Stella.

LadyOfTheFlowers · 20/02/2010 08:39

We LOVE Lois but our surname begins with S and so the two names run together making it sound like 'Lowie'.

DH said Stella's a beer and Lois is lois lane. I like both, but prefer Stella.

OOh I love both these names - would say whatever goes best with your last name!! My DH vetoed Stella as it would remind him of a certain drink - I was gutted!

I love Stella. Lois seems very church ladyish to me.

MaggieMaeve · 19/02/2010 22:58

Stella is pretty and I do like it, but I choose Lois. It's strong but attractive iykwim..

dizzydixies · 19/02/2010 22:42

Lois

Love stella

IHaveABlueCar · 19/02/2010 21:37

I love Lois. If we go for dc3 and get a dd that's our number one name.

Not keen on Stella but only because I have an irrational hatred of Stella McCartney

stleger · 19/02/2010 21:35

I toyed with Stella as my dd2's name, as the night after she was born was all frosty and starry. I still love it. (Although we live in Cork, where it is used to describe girls like Lauren off Catherine Tate!)

Maria2007loveshersleep · 19/02/2010 21:27

I think Stella is a lovely name. Lois I don't like so much, sorry. Sounds a bit old-fashioned and mother-henny to my ears (not sure why).

belindarose · 19/02/2010 21:26

I love Stella.

BikeRunSki · 19/02/2010 21:24

Oooh, I love them both. My niece is Stella (nn Lala) but I wanted Lois if DS had been a girl, I love them both! I'd say that Stella would have an easier life in terms of spelling out her name, prounouncaition etc.
