Sisters called Lois and Lana: first thoughts without reading other replies?

[Geargrinder]

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

Lana? Inspired by the Immaculate Conception thread?

That someone is a fan of superman:)

no just a crazed mner.

Try to avoid the same first initial - it means the post will get mixed up. Also, superman and Lana Turner. Too matching for me. Would choose Lara, rather than Lana (sounds less harsh). Don't really like Lois, either.

Is this to name two girls/twins then, or just your final two favourites? Of the two, I love Lana. But Lois is nice too.

I immediately thought of Superman.

Superman

BOF Lana is my existing DD. second on the way. (yeses course, now that Lana has been slagged off I'm wishing I'd invited people to read the thread first! But wanted to see how many people made the Lois Lane and Lana Lang link unprompted)

Thanks for loving Lana

Oh yeah, just re-read the title, sorry. Yes, I like them, but I just think you'll drive yourself mad calling the wrong name. They'll both end up as LanaLoisYouKnowWhoIMean.

I'd do that even if I named them A and B

I thought of Lana Turner and Lois Lane. Had no idea that there was a Lana in Superman
Like them both and as a pair.

I think they are both lovely names, especially Lois. Not sure if i'd have them as sibling names though.

My first thought was that they were the Playboy twins, but I don't think that's right....

I wouldn't use both names for siblings, although they are both actually very beautiful names.

Too matchy

Lana is too weak compared to ballsy Lois

I would think their parents ODd on superhero comics as kids.

Do you know, I have a Lois, and in 14 years of having a Lois, not one person has ever mentioned the Superman connection

But....she does always get called Louise.

well OP we do have similar taste in names! I also had a dilemma with my 2nd DD's name as we really liked a name that is a bit similar to Lana (doesn't begin with L or have 4 letters but still similar). I ummed and aahed over it, it didn't bother DH at all and we went with it anyway. 2 years later I don't regret it. I also liked a name of a BIg brother contestant and didn't go with it for that reason but no one would make that connection now!

Ah when my dog Lois was in a dog contest they called her out as Louie! Dumb judges!

I think oh nice names

Loving the last two posts. My way of thinking is that the names existed before they were given to the characters, so we shouldn't let it affect our decision. fluffy we considered Clara but I thought that was more same-ish to Lana than Lois. Glad you stuck with your choice.

crazy that is a very cool fact indeed.

OP Lana is a great name (biased here!), I don't know about you but I always get compliments on her name. But Not everyone is going to like the same names, if we all did it would be boring.

Both absolutely lovely names, and a lovely combination. Slightly retro feel without getting into granny chic.

Exactly!

Old older gentleman stopped my husband recently to ask where we got the name Lana from. He was a huge fan of Lana Turner and thought we were too young to have chosen "such a beautiful classic"
