Marnie or Lois

[Catherinebee85]

Which do you prefer?

One is my choice, the other is DP's

We cannot agree.

Help!

Definitely Lois, much better as a grown up name for the rest of her life, and cute for a little girl too.

Oh dear for the first time ever in a name thread I am stumped. I think you will need to have 2 girl babies so that you can use both names.

Lois was my pick for DD1 but DH really, really wanted another name -
much more than I wanted Lois so he won. It is such a lovely name and part of me regrets not fighting my corner but 24 years on I really can't imagine DD1 as a Lois at all.

I also adore Marnie but it wasn't a name that cropped up all those years ago.

Tough choice OP. I think the best way to decide is to work out how much each of you want your pick? In the end I coud live without it - but DH was unrelentless. So our decision wasn't all that difficult in the end.

I chose Lois too, but it was DH's turn to pick.

Definitely Lois

Don't want her being called sarnie Marnie or cheese sarnie (we had a Marnie at school, she was always called something related to a sandwich).

I'd say Marnie. I think that's a lovely name and I'm probably overly biased against the alternative because I do know an unbelievably horrible (adult) Lois.

Name changed for this obviously.

Catherine I may be biased but I'd say Lois! As my user name says I absolutely love my name and there's definitely not many of us about (where I live anyway)!

Heratnumber7, mine is pronounced
Low-iss by most people but sometimes I get Loyce too. It all seems to depends on the person's accent.

Marnie

Lois.

Marnie 100% 💗

Definitely Marnie.

Marnie I think. Lois is popular where I am. I know lots of them.

Marnie 100%

My favourite girls name. Love love love it.

Lois. Pretty but sophisticated too.

Lois

Lois, definitely!

I think I'd go for Lois. If you're in the north, Marnie sounds a bit too close to "mardy"

I know a Marni in the USA. Fab lady.

They are both lovely names, but I prefer Lois.

Lois. Would've called my ds Lois if he'd been a dd. Lovely name.

Marnie. An excellent name

It would be low-iss. Marnie is DP's choice but I'm hoping the fact that I'm pushing her out of me gives me the trump card when it comes to the final say. I don't mind Marnie but we are in the north so too close to Mardy for me!

Love Marnie - my friends older sister is called Marnie and growing up she was always so cool & beautiful (and still is).

Lois on the other hand reminds me of the wife from Family Guy.

Another vote for Lois.

Marnie is very pretty.Lois reminds me of Lois Lane.And the ma in Malcolm in the middle

Also Northern and like Marnie best, but it's close.
