Just as the title says. What do you think of Lois and Lana as siblings? TIA.

Somebody likes superman

I dislike the matchy-matchiness of it.

The alliteration I am not keen on, but the double-whammy of the names being the same length too tips the combination into the categories of 'per rabbit names'.

Sorry. Both names are fine individually.

Superman

Superman and Smallville.

Dillydollydaydream · 10/11/2012 16:04

I wouldn't use lana after reading another thread.

pixiestix · 10/11/2012 16:05

Lois Lane

lljkk · 10/11/2012 16:06

Fine, I wouldn't care.

picturesinthefirelight · 10/11/2012 16:07

Superman is my first thought.

elfycat · 10/11/2012 16:07

Two of Superman's female friends....
Lois Lane
Lana Lang

I don't like it when siblings share a first initial

makes it very confusing when they start getting post!

ScooseIsOnTheLoose · 10/11/2012 16:10

I know a lois and Lara

fluffygal · 10/11/2012 16:18

My Dd is Lana and my dog is Lois- is that ok? The dog was named before we got her iffy our defence, no superman fans here!

dilly is that because of what it spells backwards? My DD walks around saying her name backwards and has no idea what it means! Grin

Superman. Now going to read thread.

SandStorm · 10/11/2012 16:21

I would think you were a big fan of Smallville.

Dillydollydaydream · 10/11/2012 16:23

fluffy yes!! I hadn't even noticed that til I read it on another thread.

They do look like Lois Lane together, a bit samey.

Geargrinder · 10/11/2012 16:28

Too late on the Lana front, dilly, she's very much is existence and tearing up my livingroom as I type. Not fans of Superman/Smallville at all, just polling to see who makes the connection. DH bothered by it more than me, but Lois is the only name we both love for DD2 - and we have argued over discussed loads.

cheesesarnie · 10/11/2012 16:30

Pochemuchka · 10/11/2012 16:30

Superman?

EagleRiderDirk · 10/11/2012 16:30

Superman fan parents

Wheresmycaffeinedrip · 10/11/2012 16:30

Superman :o

fluffygal · 10/11/2012 16:32

The way I see it, they are not paired for life so it doesn't really matter. If you like the name, go for it. Not everyone will get the superman connection.
