I've met a few Carolines who haven't been very nice.

I can't think of any nasty Louises.

jaykay34 · 29/04/2015 09:14

I only know lovely Louises !

Danielle is the stand out evil name for me...I know several nasty Danielles...my daughter also knows a couple too. Daniella's on the other hand, are lovely.

NoNoNoMYDoIt · 28/04/2015 22:44

I'm now wondering if any of these horrid Louises or indeed lovely Louises that people are talking about are me...

BellMcEnd · 28/04/2015 22:38

One of the most amazingly, brilliant, generous people I've ever known was called Louise.

I've met several twattish Mels though......

likalixer · 28/04/2015 22:15

Every Louise I've ever known has been pretty! Have never known a plain Louise, and they've all been very confident and assured.
Have you thought of Eloise?
It's Louise, with a twist!

anxiousannie10 · 28/04/2015 22:11

Not had that much experience with Louise's but I've never in my 37 years met a nice, Katie or Kate !

Theoldcauliflower · 12/04/2015 21:09

Know 2 Louise's both twats!!

LesleyKnopeFan · 12/04/2015 20:52

Erm, I've met an infinite number of lovely people and a few horrid people in my 40 years on this planet, no common name denominator in either camp.

Just for the record, I know several lovely Louises and a few awesome and non-twattish Blush Simons.

Doilooklikeatourist · 12/04/2015 20:47

My Sil is Louise , and she lovely

anorakgirl · 12/04/2015 20:43

Never met a nice Lucy.

StickledPink · 12/04/2015 20:40

I know one Louise and she is very sly and generally not nice.

I've yet to meet a Pauline who is nice. Have met loads and none have been very pleasant.

Totally agree that Amelias and SImon's are twats!!

Happydays, my lovely Grandad used to sing that song to me when I was little. I used to feel so special to have a song with my name in it.

TryingToBeHelpful · 12/04/2015 09:07

I've never met a Jenny I liked, though I loved the name Sad

HappydaysArehere · 12/04/2015 09:02

Song, very famous long ago - Every little breeze, seems to whisper Louise, birds in the trees. .......

StrawberryTallCake · 12/04/2015 08:38

I have no bad feelings towards Louise.

I know a Wendy and she truly is a Wendy in all ways. I often wonder whether she is the reason a Wendy is called a Wendy.

Agree with the general personality traits of a Nicola.

Psipsina · 12/04/2015 08:38

This has to rank with astrology in terms of total irrelevance to anything, especially real life and logic.

It is sheer coincidence. Next?

ginzillas · 12/04/2015 08:34

There's loads of us! We have strength in numbers.

Ledkr · 12/04/2015 08:33

I'm going to start a "Louise appreciation society"

Ledkr · 12/04/2015 08:32

OI!!
I'm a bloody nice Louise too.

ginzillas · 12/04/2015 08:28

*ps, it's spelt 'pleasant'

ginzillas · 12/04/2015 08:27

My name is Louise and I generally do my best to be as kind and friendly as possible. But that's down to my personality rather than the name my parents chose for me 36 years ago. What's your name OP? Just so I can make a mental note of it in the category marked 'likely to start needlessly nasty threads on mumsnet'?

YonicScrewdriver · 11/04/2015 20:02

Op

Do you have a baby girl to name or were you just dying to get your opinion of Louises out?!

GoulashSoup · 11/04/2015 19:55

I wouldn't normally generalise based on names but the only Louise I've known nearly made me leave my job. She was so stressful to work with I lost loads of weight and my hair fell out. For that reason I would never use the name, but I'm sure her name was not the sole cause of her toxic bitchy game playing.

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 11/04/2015 18:20

I always think of Marie As a glamorous nAme, even though I've never met a glamorous Marie.
