Just curious what people think of the name Louisa? What would you associate with this name?

Suggestions for middle names?

I find it very dated, sorry OP.

It's lovely.
Middle name - anything that's not Rose, May or Grace,

I prefer Elouisa, as that uses all the vowels.

My honest opinion is it sounds a little old. But it's still a pretty name

@PlantPotting my husband doesn't like Elouise as it's very common in the UK

Elouisa and Elouise are both horrible.
Eloise, Louise and Louisa are all lovely.

Elouise looks like you couldn't decide between 2 names or can't spell.

Why not suggest Loucy or Eloucy for someone who liked Lucy, while you're at it? Or Loucinda and Eloucinda?

I much prefer Louisa to Elouise. Louisa is beautiful, elegant, classy, timeless....I really like it!

It's hard thinking of a middle name....what does the surname begun with?

For all those saying Elouise/a it’s more usually spelt Eloise or Eloisa.

I absolutely love it. It’s not too fashionable or prissy but still pretty. It was on my girls list but dh didn’t like.

I really like Louisa and think it's due a comeback.

I think a middle name which starts with a consonant would be good. A vowel would run into the 'a' at the end of Louisa.

Louisa Willow
Louisa Romilly

Louisa Holly
Louisa Florence
Louisa Naomi
Louisa Jasmine
Louisa Poppy
Louisa Coraline
Louisa Mirabelle

Lovely, classic and underused.
Eloise is nice too, but please, not Elouise.
