I are one. I agree that the s at the end of a name is harsh; I have been called Lo and Loie. Also Loi, which I like best. Nieces have referred to me as Aunt LoLo.

My middle name is Elaine so I—Lois Elaine—have always identified with Lois Lane. I dress in a Lois Lane-suit for Hallowe’en and carry a reporter’s pad. My spouse in horn-rimmed specs wears a Superman T-shirt under his unbuttoned dress shirt.

Do you know there are Lois Clubs? Everyone wears a tag that says: Hello. I’m Lois. The groups have only a name in common but it is an unusual enough one that it binds them together at least for an occasional lunch. Google Lois Club for more insight.

My husband and I are authors and he’s working on a series of relationship-essays that he might just name I LOVE LOIS. What do you think?

I actually went to high school with one (so she’s in her late 20′s now) and on my last trip to Disneyland, I saw a young teenage girl with “Lois” embroidered on her Mickey hat.

I definitely think it could work today. I actually find it rather sultry — perhaps it’s that “Lo” sound.

Give me Lilias or Alice any day. I don’t know exactly what it is about Lois. It’s not just that I find it all reinforced granny bloomers, there’s something else. Perhaps it’s the distinct LO but then I like Lowenna and Finlo :/
