Lois

[Cleo8245]

So underused and actually very pretty don't you think?

@ofwarren, Loyce.

I prefer the Welsh pronunciation. I now several with the name but only one says it the English way

@KirstenBlest that's a much more efficient way of describing it than I did 😂 amazed anyone prefers the Welsh way though, I think it's such an ugly sound!

I would have happily used it for DD but DH was put off by the Superman association and that the character of Lois Trotter in "The Rotter's Club" is so terribly sad. But all names have associations...

Love it. I used to think Lois Lane from superman was the most beautiful lovely woman when I was growing up 😁 she was my 90s idol ha ha xo

Love it!

It's not a Welsh name, it's a biblical one! The Welsh pronounce it Loyce, which I can't stand tbh. Much prefer it as Low-iss.

My Lois is 8, and she really suits it. It's strong, and not overly girly but still feminine. I don't like the girly girly names.

Not a fan - all I can think of are the mothers in Malcolm in the Middle and Family Guy, sorry.

@GuyFawkesDay I don't think anyone has said it's Welsh just that there is a Welsh pronunciation.

I don't think anyone said it was Welsh, @GuyFawkesDay, but it is popular in Wales, and welsh speakers use the welsh pronunciation.

Some of the biblical names can be pronounced phonetically so sound different when said by a Welsh speaker Examples would be Elias (El-ee-as), Jacob (Jack-ob), Deborah (Deb-O-ra), Eli (Elly), Jonah (Jonn-a), and so on

Really like this name and I hardly ever like any of the names on here that are suggestions for new baby.

I really like it and had it on my list but my dh isn't a fan, saying its too close to Louis (the Lewis pronunciation).

Sorry no, I really dislike it.

I like it. I find it so nerdy it’s cool again, if you know what I mean.

Lois sounds like a mousy secretary in Mad Men. I’m unfortunately not a fan.

Low-iss or Loyce?

I'm not sure I like either much tbh

Beautiful name

I like Lois. But I especially like Eloise. (from The Damned song in the 1980s).

I don't like Eloise, It seems difficult to say. and some people try to write it as Elouise

The Damned song was a cover version

It just reminds me too much of superman and family guy. I think if it didn't, I would probably like it, but its a no for me.
