Baby number 2 is due in the next month and can't decide on girls names already have a little boy and name for next baby if a boy is decided options for girls name are

Lois
April
Winnie (this was contender for dc1 but is now a bit matchy with ds...is that weird?)

Ds name is vintage/'old man' name not one of the more popular ones, this wasn't intended just loved the name

Lois is a lovely name

SuzyDaarling · 23/08/2021 22:36

I love April. Not keen on the other two.

SE13Mummy · 23/08/2021 22:41

I like Lois. April feels like an odd choice for an autumn baby and Winnie may be best avoided if paired with Vinnie, Winston or Wilfred.

jackstini · 23/08/2021 22:42

Lois is my favourite

DotDotDotDotDot · 23/08/2021 22:42

I love Lois for a girls name, always surprised it not more popular.

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 23/08/2021 22:49

Sorry, I really dislike Winnie - and I think kids will make "pooh" jokes. Nothing wrong with Lois or April but I personally prefer the sound of April.

Babydust13 · 23/08/2021 22:57

I think April is a lovely name I'm not keen on Lois because I know one and she's awful and Winnie just isn't my cup of tea

MrsBertBibby · 23/08/2021 23:21

Winnie is dreadful.
I dislike April, a lot.
Lois is not one I'd pick, but actually very nice.

Yes, this.

Love both Lois and April - they're quite different to each other, so why not wait and see which you like when she's born?

ChickpeaCrunch · 24/08/2021 06:58

April will get asked if they were born in April a lot

RoseMartha · 24/08/2021 07:00

Lois and April are both lovely but if I had to pick one. I would go with Lois.

SpeckledyHen · 24/08/2021 07:12

Lois is lovely . Not heard it for a long time and I used to babysit a lovely little one when I was a teenager .

Chachachawoo · 24/08/2021 07:17

I would go for Lois

bloominglovelyorange · 24/08/2021 07:30

How about Willa instead on Winnie

NoHeavenNoMore · 24/08/2021 07:33

Lois 😍😍

GoodnightGrandma · 24/08/2021 07:34

Lois is the nicest of your 3.

AnyaMoondial · 24/08/2021 08:12

Lois. It’s brilliant.

NannyR · 24/08/2021 08:14

Lois, what a great name!

Urghhhhh · 24/08/2021 08:16

I vote for April. Winnie conjures winnie the pooh images in my mind and Lois is too old lady like.

Sisisimone · 24/08/2021 08:18

Winnie is truly dreadful. April I'm not really keen on either. I like Lois.

CaffiSaliMali · 24/08/2021 08:54

Which pronunciation of Lois would it be? The English Low-iss or the Welsh Loyce? Either is nice.

I think April is my favourite, followed by Lois. Not a big fan of Winnie especially if it feels matchy with your DS' name.

villamariavintrapp · 24/08/2021 09:16

Love Lois!

BubbleCoffee · 24/08/2021 09:17
  1. April
  2. Lois
  3. Winnie
Member589500 · 24/08/2021 09:21

Not keen on any except April and then I agree about the month thing.
Winnie is awful. Sort of whiny and weak.
Lisa? Eloise?
