Lois

[AdvoCat]

Just posting after this lovely suggestion from a Mumsnetter to see what you think?

I think I love it a little and have found it hard to love a name yet. I wanted something quite chic and underused, which was what my original post was seeking.

I don't like it. There's nothing wrong with it, it's just not my taste.

I love it. In a similar vein I also love Audrey and Daphne.

Oh I haven’t heard Lois for ages. I love it.

I really like it!

Yes it’s a lovely name.

4/5 positive - not bad!

There’s one at my son’s nursery. It’s a nice name.

It's nice, Lo is a nice nn and I like how it looks when it's written

Reminds me of Family Guy

Love it, was on my list but dh not convinced.

Love it

I liked it but I was concerned people would pronounce it Lewis. Then I realised that even if they pronounced it correctly they’d always be an association with a toilet and maybe he’d get bullied. So I went with something else 🤦🏻‍♀️

Love it

@justanotherneighinparadise why a toilet association if you don't mind me asking?

I think she's talking about Louis?

I wanted to call my DD Lois but her dad vetoed it. I think it's a lovely name.

lovely

In Wales, Lois is pronounced Loyce (or something like that, a Welsh speaker will be along to correct me).

@user1493494961 that'll be me lol! I've heard it pronounced both ways here. We'd go with Low-is.

As long as your last name isn't Lane, it's great.

Gorgeous name

I love it, it does have that elegant, chic feeling and is very underused. I've only ever met one, she was lovely and a bit quirky if that helps

It’s my middle name and I hate it

It's the name of my best friend who is the most wonderful human being in the world so it's a yes from me. Beautiful name ❤️

It's a lovely name and very chic.
