Help...trying to decide between Phoebe, Lois and Ava as our girls name.

Which would you choose out of the three?

Phoebe for me!

I know way too many Avas and Lois to me is too old fashioned.

villamariavintrapp · 19/04/2020 13:44

Lois. I love it

Spied · 19/04/2020 13:45

Lois

ellenpartridge · 19/04/2020 13:46

Ava is by far the nicest. Phoebe is OK. Lois I don't like at all.

lalachicky · 19/04/2020 13:46

Lois is lovely and I also really like Phoebe.

Robs20 · 19/04/2020 13:47

I love Lois!

MyNameHasBeenTaken · 19/04/2020 13:47

English "lowiss" or welsh "loyce"?
Ava is very popular, along with Ada, eva, evie...
.phoebe I can never remember how to spell, but I do like it.
I would probably go with phoebe

I've just had a baby girl (6 weeks tomorrow!) and her name is Phoebe 😁

namedecisionshelp · 19/04/2020 13:51

@Eejay28 congratulations! Have you had nice comments/vibes about the name?

Lovely choices! They're on my list too - there's just something about Lois I love - I think that's my favourite!

userabcname · 19/04/2020 14:07

I once taught a very stroppy Lois which has rather put me off the name. I like Ava and love Phoebe.

triedandtestedteacher · 19/04/2020 14:13

Phoebe is lovely

Whatsyourflava · 19/04/2020 14:15

I love Ava and Phoebe! Lois is nice but I just think of the boy name Louis

user1477391263 · 19/04/2020 14:15

Lois is my favorite---it is a really beautiful name. Phoebe is nice enough. Ava is inoffensive but there are a lot of them and a lot of similar sounding names at the moment.

QueenofDestruction · 19/04/2020 14:15

Ad a is gorgeous, Phoebe is nice. I don't like Lois

123Pandy · 19/04/2020 14:15

Lois!

QueenofDestruction · 19/04/2020 14:15

Ava

user1493494961 · 19/04/2020 14:17

Phoebe.

midwesteaster · 19/04/2020 14:21

Phoebe is a lovely name.

LotusClover · 19/04/2020 14:29

I don't like Lois at all. Phoebe is okay but the weird spelling puts me off. Ava is the nicest but is one of the most popular girls names at the moment. Maybe consider Adelaide with the nickname Ada?

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 19/04/2020 14:35

Lois is gorgeous. I don’t like the sound of Phoebe and surely the Ava obsession needs to come to close now.

DramaAlpaca · 19/04/2020 14:37

Hard to choose because I like them all, but I think I'd go for Lois as it's just that bit more unusual.

GuyFawkesDay · 19/04/2020 14:42

I have a Lois.

She's ace. So go with that!!!

We also had Phoebe, Saskia, Dulcie on the list

TotesGodsWill · 19/04/2020 14:50

I love Phoebe

Lois would be my second choice I much prefer it to Ava
