Alois

Alois has been my all time favorite for a long time. Lately I was feeling a little less love for it, which was making me kind of sad ): I don't want to let go of it yet, but I don't get that same feeling when I hear it anymore. Last night though I had a dream I had a baby named Alois and I thought maybe I loved it again, but it's still not really there..anyways, I just wanted to know what other people thought of the name. tia

Having never seen it before, I totally flubbed the pronuncation. I said ah-LOW-is. Like "look over there I see a Lois." Also I assumed it was a girl's name and never even noticed that it said masculine when I looked up the pronunciation. I only got that form someone else's comment. Doh. So that makes it a big no on my end. A little hard to figure out and way to girl-like-lookin'!I do, however, know what it's like for a name to lose it's lustre for you. And I mourn the loss with you.

I like it (and Aloysius). The only issue I see is that the similarity to Alice and Lois might make people think it's a girls name (depending on where you live).

It's nice enough. I don't have any strong feelings for it one way or the other.`

I know the feeling. Charles has been that way for me. It was one of my very favorites for years, then the last year or so it's been losing steam. I don't even think I'd consider it for a child anymore. It's hard when that happens to a beloved name!Anyway, I like Alois a lot. It's handsome, and there's something regal about it.
