From the experts:
The eternal fiancee of Superman turned sweet gray-haired lady who's always available to babysit her grandkids. Lois is actually a New Testament name of Greek origin: she was converted by Paul and was the grandmother of Timothy, who became one of Paul's disciples. Other s-ending names are making a comeback, as is Louise, so why not Lois?

I know a women who's name is Lois, but goes by "Osee", but spells it Osie. It has the same hard "O" sound, but it's so much cuter. I wish Osie stood alone as a name, because I really don't like the name Lois.

Forgive my stupidity, but how is this pronounced?
ldougie Says:
Does this sound like it should be a guys name to anyone else? Maybe just because it is one letter away from being Louis.

Lois will forever be Lois Griffin to me. Pretty name, though.

Lois is my middle name and I love it, but I HATE hearing "oh like on Family Guy". It's from my great grandmother not some idiotic show that started after I was born.
