I love the name Lois, I have worked a nursery nurse for 5 years now, and had a beautiful little girl with this name . Wondering if anyone has an opinion on this?

It's very pretty, a friend of DDs little sister.

Lovely, and very under used, I like it

Yip!

My Nan's name was Lois (pronounced Loys rather than Lo-is). It will be our baby's middle name if it's a girl Smile x

It's lovely. I've only known 2, one would be in her 60s by now, and the other early 20s I think.

OldCatLady · 28/09/2014 16:24

I love it, very cute :)

Its a top contender on my baby name list if we have a girl.

Mentioned it to my parents and they kept going on about lois lane.. But i think almost every name has an association... Phoebe (from friends), noah (ark) simon (cowell) etc etc... Go with it very pretty

Clobbered · 28/09/2014 16:28

I know a delightful Lois. Go for it! Lovely name

I have a 5 year-old Lois - I think Lois Lane and Lois from family guy are great girls too :-). We wanted a short name that would carry through any age.

We have had a bit of odd pronunciation - some try to call her Louis! But enough to worry about.

Georgina1975 · 28/09/2014 17:10

But not enough to worry about

loislines · 28/09/2014 18:35

It's my name and I've always loved it. In my 30s now and it has become much more popular now than it was. Lois lane was always a comment but never bothered me.

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 28/09/2014 18:38

Yes I do. It's very pretty. It makes me think of Lois from family but nothing wrong with that family Guy's fantastic.

Marcipex · 28/09/2014 18:40

I like it.

YonicScrewdriver · 28/09/2014 18:41

I like it too.

WowserBowser · 28/09/2014 18:43

D0nnaO It was my Mum's middle name - after her Grandma and was pronounced 'Loys' too! Never heard of it being pn this way apart from them before.

FrazzledMiddleChild · 28/09/2014 18:44

Love it!

AWhistlingWoman · 28/09/2014 18:44

I love Lois and it was on my list for DD3.

JustGotMyBabyOnBoardBadge · 28/09/2014 18:47

So pretty! We are having a 'Juliet' in October and if there was another DD after her you've just given me another name Grin
