I would go with "Louisa" unless you have cultural background that makes it worthwhile to put up with the misspellings you will inevitably experience!

Nice name.

In portuguese it's no longer spelled Luiza, it's Luisa

In Portugal perhaps but in Brazil it's very much still Luiza, I've never met a Luisa. Luis is becoming popular over Luiz though.

If you clearly have heritage that leads to a different spelling then lovely. If not, spell it the normal way Smile

In portuguese it's no longer spelled Luiza, it's Luisa :)

Louisa - very pretty.

Pretty name. I would spell it Luisa TBH, as I think the 's' looks softer, but maybe there's a cultural reason for spelling it with the 'z'. Anyway prefer both these spellings to Louisa (even though that's fine), somehow the English spelling gives the name a completely different vibe.

Well... Tbh, in my mind the name is spelled Louisa.

But I agree, I'm suspecting you have a reason for spelling it this way?

I think the name is really really lovely :)!!

stickygotstuck · 31/03/2017 20:51

Suspect the OP has good reasons to spell it like that, could have Portuguese or other family connections, so she probably wants to know what it looks like /sounds like generally in this country.

Then again I could be way off the mark, in which case as you were!

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 31/03/2017 20:48

Prefer Louisa, beautiful name.

TheBookIsOnTheTable · 31/03/2017 19:49

I like it.

KindleBueno · 31/03/2017 19:48

Agree with Divine totally

EmpressOfTheSpartacusOceans · 31/03/2017 19:48

Just googled. Apparently Luiza is the Polish / Portuguese / Romanian form. Is that right, OP?

DevineByName · 31/03/2017 19:43

I think Louisa is a prettier spelling.
