Thoughts on Lois

What do you guys think of [name_f]Lois[/name_f]? I love vintage old lady names. Any cons to the name that you can think of?

Big sister is [name_f]Eve[/name_f] [name_f]Lillian[/name_f].

The other names that are still on the list are:

Sybil [name_f]Jane[/name_f]
(middle name isn’t set in stone)

Jane [name_u]Taylor[/name_u]
(husband will only agree to [name_f]Jane[/name_f] with [name_u]Taylor[/name_u] as the middle name, his late grandfathers middle name)

I like [name_f]Lois[/name_f] a lot, but my husband has vetoed it for our own list. [name_f]My[/name_f] favorite combo is [name_f]Lois[/name_f] [name_f]Angelica[/name_f]. [name_f]Eve[/name_f] and [name_f]Lois[/name_f] is cute.

All that said, I still love [name_f]Sybil[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] with [name_f]Eve[/name_f] [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] the most. [name_f]Eve[/name_f] and [name_f]Sibyl[/name_f] are divine together!

I really like its old lady feel! It’s simple and cute. It used to be one of my favourite names.

Can’t think of any cons.

I really like [name_f]Lois[/name_f] (obviously, it’s my username :joy:). I think it has the plus of combining popular names like [name_f]Lola[/name_f] and [name_f]Iris[/name_f] but being unique and vintage.

I think it makes a charming pair with [name_f]Eve[/name_f]. I absolutely adore [name_f]Sybil[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] and [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_u]Taylor[/name_u]! [name_f]Jane[/name_f] is one of my most favorite names.

Normally I don’t like monosyllabic first names but this is sooooo nice! ^.^

Anyways, on [name_f]Lois[/name_f], I prefer [name_u]Louise[/name_u]. :slight_smile:

My husband has a family member he doesn’t like named [name_u]Louise[/name_u] unfortunately

I love [name_f]Lois[/name_f]! It has a beautiful sound and a great meaning like [name_f]Eve[/name_f], so I think they go well together! The only con I can think of is [name_f]Lois[/name_f] from [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m] in the Middle. [name_f]Sybil[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] is also great!

I’m the odd man out so far, but I am not a fan of [name_f]Lois[/name_f]. The sound isn’t at all pleasing to me and I feel like it pales next to the elegant [name_f]Eve[/name_f] [name_f]Lillian[/name_f]. No real cons as far as associations or it sounding like unfortunate words or anything, though. I just think of [name_f]Lois[/name_f] [name_u]Lane[/name_u] or the mom on Family [name_m]Guy[/name_m], neither of which are particularly bad connections, I don’t think. However, if it’s a name you end up loving, then I think you should go for it. Your opinion is the one that ultimately matters. =]

I think [name_f]Lois[/name_f] is so pretty, but the Family [name_m]Guy[/name_m] reference bothers me too much to put in my own list.

I can imagine [name_f]Eve[/name_f] with a sister named…
[name_f]Eloise[/name_f]
[name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_f]Audrey[/name_f]
[name_f]Iris[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f]
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]
[name_f]Claire[/name_f]
[name_f]Imogene[/name_f], [name_f]Imogene[/name_f]
[name_f]Isobel[/name_f], [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f]
[name_u]Antonia[/name_u] ([name_f]Annie[/name_f])
[name_f]Elise[/name_f]
[name_f]Amy[/name_f], [name_f]Amie[/name_f]
[name_u]Emilia[/name_u]
[name_f]Amelie[/name_f]- [name_f]Amie[/name_f]

I especially like two sibling names beginning with a vowel sound. From you ideas, I do like [name_f]Sybil[/name_f] and [name_f]Jane[/name_f]. Though,I think [name_f]Jane[/name_f] makes a better middle name. Not a fan of [name_f]Lois[/name_f]. Good luck with your decision.

i think of family guy - up to you whether that’s good or bad (assuming you use the low-iss pronunciation)

if it’s pronounced loys (lloyd with an s), only some very niche associations.

I like [name_f]Eve[/name_f] and [name_f]Sybil[/name_f] together the best.

Can’t think of any big reasons against [name_f]Lois[/name_f], objectively, though.

I just can’t come around to [name_f]Lois[/name_f]. Personally I find it dusty & pales in comparison to [name_f]Eve[/name_f].

I still absolutely love [name_f]Jane[/name_f], especially with [name_f]Eve[/name_f] :heart:

Love [name_f]Lois[/name_f]! [name_f]Eve[/name_f] and [name_f]Lois[/name_f] would make a refreshing pair. :slight_smile:

I hope the new [name_f]Lois[/name_f] and [name_m]Clark[/name_m] series will boost its use! It shares a lot of similar sounds with names that have already made a comeback like [name_f]Lola[/name_f], [name_f]Eloise[/name_f], [name_f]Iris[/name_f] etc.

I love [name_f]Lois[/name_f] so much! It makes me think of [name_f]Lois[/name_f] [name_u]Lowry[/name_u], author of The Giver series and Number the Stars. That’s a great association :))

That’s a great association! I know people have mentioned Family [name_m]Guy[/name_m] several times but I never watched it so I don’t have that association.
