Honest opinions on Lois

[Salonly]

DH is a fan, I'm not sure.

What's your opinion?

PS Clara is my current fave although I'm sure baby is a boy anyway.

No no no. Eloise? Louise? Louisa?

Clara is very pretty.

I like Lois but I do think of a)Lois Lane from Superman and b)Lois from Malcolm in the Middle.

What about Clarice?

I love it as did my DH however I already have the name of a Superhero girlfriend so I felt that it was too much having Lois too

I know two, a 13 yo and a 5 yo. Both lovely and it suits them.

It's not to my taste but certainly not a name I dislike either.

We had Clara Lois on our shortlist but turned but to be DS. So guess that's a thumbs up on both of your choices - not very helpful is it, sorry

Lois is very pretty.

I like the Welsh Lois, as in pronounced Loy-s but mot when it's pronounced Lowis.

I love Lois!

I love it!

Clara becoming very pop (very nice though). wdyt of Xena or Clio?

Like it, very nice

Wow I'm stunned by its possitive reception!

Neither name (Clara or Lois)is in the top 100 so I'm not sure how popular each name is.

Clara is really lovely

Lois - plain, dull

Please excuse the typos!

Also, I'm dead set on Beatrice as a middle name. Lois Beatrice is a bit sss heavy. Clara Beatrice still wins my heart...

Salonly, that is a lovely name - Clara Beatrice. Very Classy. You have to use that!

Lois - like it, think it is sweet.

Of course you should get him one, for all the reasons that everyone else has said.

And, if you need more reasons why for your dh, 'girls' toys such as dolls, kitchens, shops, teasets, give more opportunities for imaginative play and play which involves interaction with others and therefore help develop language skills and interpersonal skills better than 'boys' toys such as cars, trucks and footballs. For example, observe and compare dcs playing with cars and dcs playing with dolls - less talking to the cars and about the cars to adults/other children whereas a lot of playing with dolls invovles pretend interaction and conversations with the doll and about the doll/baby with adults present.

oops! posted on wrong thread!!

Anyone named for the Malcolm-in-the-middle mum is a blardy winner in my book

And now I can't find the thread that it should be on..looked everywhere...

love it

Lol heavealot, I was a very confused person for a minute there.

It was a possible for us, but we still kept thinking of Lois Lane. There's a wee girl in DSs nursery class called Lois and she's lovely so it makes me like it more. Our standing joke is that it will be our next (imaginary!) baby name as we have a LOgan and an ISla and that way it'll be a nice mix.

Not fond of Clara I have to say...

Love it. I know a Lois (8 yrs old) and she's beautiful. I must admit when I first heard they had called her Lois I wasn't keen and thought of Lois Lane....but now I just love it.
