The Lowdown on Lois

Am I going to make a thread about my recent obsession with [name_f]Lois[/name_f]? You bet I am.

What would you nickname [name_f]Lois[/name_f]? What would you imagine [name_f]Lois[/name_f] to look like? Middles for [name_f]Lois[/name_f]? How many siblings do you think she’d have, and what would their names be?

[name_f]Answer[/name_f] as many as you like. TIA!

Love [name_f]Lois[/name_f]!

Lolly, [name_f]Lola[/name_f], or [name_f]Lolo[/name_f] would be my nickname pick.

I think of [name_f]Lois[/name_f] [name_u]Lowry[/name_u], [name_f]Lois[/name_f] from Family [name_m]Guy[/name_m] (such a great voice actress), and the [name_f]Lois[/name_f] I know, my aunt-in-law.

Totally underrated, I feel. I’m not going to use it myself as it just isn’t quite my style, but I think it is a great name.

Lois is bookish but down to earth and rather tomboy. [name_f]Lolo[/name_f] is great, and I think [name_u]Izzy[/name_u] might work, too (@jonquils).

Lois is a guilty pleasure name for me- not my style but I wished I loved it because I love [name_f]Lois[/name_f] [name_u]Lowry[/name_u]. I would use the nn [name_m]Lowie[/name_m]!

Lois makes me think of [name_f]Lois[/name_f] [name_u]Lane[/name_u] and [name_f]Lois[/name_f] [name_u]Lowry[/name_u]!

it isn’t my personal style, but I think it’s cute! I imagine a little girl with pigtails and freckles, who loves to climb trees and read books in them, no idea why! I also feel like she’d have a lot of siblings! I think [name_f]Lolly[/name_f] and [name_f]Lola[/name_f] make cute nicknames!

Lois’ possible siblings: [name_m]Arthur[/name_m], [name_u]Penny[/name_u], [name_u]June[/name_u], [name_f]Elsie[/name_f], [name_f]Mara[/name_f], [name_u]George[/name_u], [name_f]Edith[/name_f], [name_m]Frederick[/name_m], [name_f]Olive[/name_f], [name_m]Ernest[/name_m], [name_u]August[/name_u], [name_f]Annie[/name_f], [name_f]Bee[/name_f]

Lois seems very old fashioned and not quite poised for a comeback yet, IMO – but maybe it’s because I have a great aunt named Lois, so I can’t see it as anything other than her name!

I love Eloise, though!

Oops I didn’t answer the questions so adding answers:

  1. Siblings: Hmm, maybe Bernadette, Mildred, Pearl, Albert?
  2. Middles: A spunkier, younger middle might liven up this name for me. Lois Daisy, Lois Clementine.

I really like [name_f]Lois[/name_f]. I forgot about [name_f]Lois[/name_f] from Family [name_m]Guy[/name_m] until I read a post above that mentioned it, and now I do think of her, but that is not a big deal.

If I had a daughter named [name_f]Lois[/name_f], I would probably end up calling her [name_f]Lola[/name_f].

I love [name_f]Lois[/name_f]. Sweet, strong and simple. [name_f]Lolo[/name_f], [name_f]Lo[/name_f], [name_u]Issy[/name_u] or [name_f]Lissy[/name_f] for nicknames

I love [name_f]Lois[/name_f]. A gorgeous vintage, but still super cool and unexpected. I’ve had [name_f]Lois[/name_f] [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] on my list for a while. I’m not a big nickname fan but if I was to go with anything it would probably be [name_f]Lolly[/name_f].
