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.

I really like it

No - maybe a marmite name? I dislike it. Sounds hard to me, and I hear a very strong US accent with it all the time which is fine if you are american?

I've got a Lois and get a lot of positive comments - although you should be prepared for people mispronouncing it as Louis, Lewis, Louise...

I think of Lois Lane and Long-distance Clara (Pigeon Street) but that's no reason against using them!

Lois is prettier though IMO. And the Lois Lane in the modern Superman interpretations is a great, fiesty character (unlike in the 80s films - will are hardly going to be reference points for your child and her class mates!)

this is an Oct thread girls so doubt very much if the OP is still looking for opinions!!

Other people might be looking around for inspiration though! It's what brings me to these threads There's no point starting a new post about a name if one exists and shows up under the Baby Name Topic.

true but it confuses me when I notice I've already posted and don't remember doing it !!

love it!

Love both names. However I've always pronounced Clara as Cl-air-a and dont like it pronounced Cl-ar-a!
