Name too “superman”

[Loopsroo]

Hi. Love the name Lois for girl and dh does too but I am a little dubious as surname would be Clark. Too “supermany”???

Not at all! I think it's lovely!x

I wouldn’t have put it together as superman-related unless you’d said tbh!

I’ve known a Lois Clark for over twenty years and the connection has never occurred to me until this thread!

It’s just with superman’s real name being Clark Kent and girlfriend Lois Lane... I can’t seem to get it out of my head (but it is probably the reason superhero loving dh likes the name ) can’t ask family / friends as we are not sharing the name until birth.

Lol no it's great.

Unless her middle name is "Fliesatnightwith"

😂 maybe I’ll consider that as middle name choice is next thing to do!

It would make me do a double take but I know many people with more "character" names and often the parents are oblivious having grown up in a different country or being a bit older or younger or not having read the same books or watched the same programmes. And then there are the ones where parents named a child and only later did a character get given the same name.

It's totally fine, they are both normal quite common names so I don't see an issue at all. I really like lois.

It's fine. If her name would be Lois Lane that would be odd, though I did have a colleague who taught James Bond 😂😂

Lois is a totally gorgeous name. Be brave if you love it. Congratulations and good luck.

I actually know a Lois Lane! Lois Clark is fine.

Fine name not at all too super hero quite refreshing actually...

It’s fine. Lois is a great name, although the Lous dd is friends with sobers a lot of time telling people she is not called Louise.

Let me share my experience. I share a name with a very well know rock star of the 80s/90s. He is still known (it’s an unequivocal girls name btw, man uses it as a stage name). It usually gets mentioned once the first time I meet someone, it might then get mentioned occasionally, if at all. Have a famous meme is not a problem, and Lois Clark is really a very tenuous connection.

It's fine and a lovely name.

Clark is such a common surname people won’t think twice about it. I love Lois- so refreshing and pretty!

Oooh Bikerunski I really want to know your name now!! (starts guessing)

Famous rock star, female stage name
Not even neutral like Kelly
If it weren’t holidays you could go to the library to look it up, but it’s a shame School’s Out

haha I'm not at school any more thank goodness. I'll give it some thought

Seriously clary? You don't know it already from Bike's last post?

I think Lois is a lovely name but with your surname you will probably get people making that connection with superman. If it's likely to annoy you I would probably say pick another name. Or you could hyphenate it so there's always a buffer between the two something like Lois-Jane?

aargh ok sorry Christmas brain, gotcha now 😃😃

Lois would make me think of superman whatever the surname, maybe because I don’t know any others called Lois. It’s a nice name.

It's fine. I'm not sure I'd make the connection even.

How about Clara instead of Lois. It is popular on here.

Nice! You could have Kent as a second name :-).
