Why not Lois?

So the name Eloise seems to have risen in popularity over the last few months. I love it. I think it is a classic name from the 1920s that reminds me of Art Deco and the Plaza. However, I was wondering how many of you think the name Lois will rise in proportion with Eloise?

Lois (LOW-iss)
Hebrew Origin
Meaning: "Good"

In France and Germany there would be an umlat over the i in Lois, making it sound like Eloise without the E at the front.

While Eloise was only ranked 198 at its highest point Lois was 22.

For those of you who like Eloise, why do you think Lois hasn't enjoyed the same rise in popularity?

With the way people in America pronounce Lois, I don't think it will rise in popularity. I associate Lois with Family Guy and Malcolm in the Middle, it's a mom-character name to me.
