Marie

Ilovenannyplum · 28/11/2016 22:26

My whole family call me Lullabelle, I bloody hate it.
As a Louise in her late twenties, I would urge you to really think about Belle as the middle name

Louise Cora
Louise Alexandra

Louise Belle sounds a like a pet name you might evolve to call someone in a sing songy voice when changing nappies. Louise Isobel is however lovely. Louise Isobel Grace would be beautiful if you consider two middle names.

HardcoreLadyType · 28/11/2016 13:19

Louise Belle is lovely. You can call her Lulu-Belle!

pullingmyhairout1 · 27/11/2016 20:22

Louise Rose.

Someone told me Louise was a middle name. Codswallop. It's lovely as a first name.

Marie is a lovely name but out of the question as its a close friend's name so doesn't feel right.

I love the name Louise, like a pp I also think Louise Marie flows really nicely

Onenerfwarfrombreakdown · 27/11/2016 09:41

No real ideas from me but just wanted to say Louise is a lovely name and you don't hear it used for little ones so often now. The Louise's I know are all in their 40/50s (and are all fab people ).

It is most definitely NOT just a "middle" name - what rot

Yika · 27/11/2016 09:34

Louise is a lovely name.

Louise Belle is fine I think and would be perfectly good also for an adult.

Louise Rebecca
Louise Alba
Louise Alina
Louise Ramona
Louise Sophie

Someone up thread mentioned Marie - I think that works very well, it sort of "fits".
Louise Marie

Or how about Maria - Louise Maria sounds lovely too.

Thank you for all your replies.
Louise is non negotiable, middle name still very much undecided

I'm a Louise, my middle name is Julie (my mums name)

You have excellent taste in first names OP

Louiseisnotjustamiddlename · 27/11/2016 06:49

I'm a Louise, my parents couldn't think of a middle name to go with Louise so I didn't get one, I always wanted one though.... I used to get loulabelle as a nn (still do from my mother occasionally!) and don't really mind it. Louise Belle is nice, but I think it does sound better as a more "formal" middle name such as Isobel as mathanxiety says above though.

Also - I loved being the only Louise in my school, until I went to university where I was most put out that there were more of us!

BuntyFigglesworthSpiffington · 27/11/2016 02:58

No one will ever hear her full name.

BuntyFigglesworthSpiffington · 27/11/2016 02:57

What about a family name? It doesn't need to 'go'.

mathanxiety · 27/11/2016 02:07

if 'Belle' appeals to you...

mathanxiety · 27/11/2016 02:06

I would use Louise Isabella or Louise Isobel, if 'Bella' appeals to you.

I prefer Louisa Belle to Louise Belle. I don't think Louise Belle flows very well.

I agree with posters who suggest a long middle name and also one that begins with a vowel.

Louise Belle was actually what I had in mind but I don't know if it sounds ok as an adult name ?

Louise is a lovely name and no doubt she'll be the only one in her class (and probably school). Hmm, one syllable ...

Rose
Hope
Joy
Belle

Love the name Louise and agree that it's underused as a first name.

If you like one syllable names...

Louise Grace is lovely!

MichaelBuble · 26/11/2016 22:46

Louise Claire

HardcoreLadyType · 26/11/2016 22:43

Yes, I like Grace. Lots of people use it as a throw away middle name, though.

Use it if you want. I'm just a randomer on the internet!

twofloorsup · 26/11/2016 09:55

I like Grace actually
