Opinions please, I know a girl (17) with this name and she hates it but I quite like it as a first name since it’s always used as a middle name (coming from the person who has a daughter called Callie Louise)

I hate the ‘wheeze’ part. A classic though.

I think it's a classic. Sounds beautiful, it's due a real comeback.

I agree with you, OP. I think it's a beautiful, classic name that's wasted as a middle name & should be used more often as a first name.

It was absolutely a filler middle name in the 60s & 70s, along with Jane & Ann/e.

Louisa is used as a first name more often than Louise these days, but I do prefer Louise.

Eloïse is much nicer. And less dated.

Dd1's middle name (27yrs)

It’s inoffensive but dated and a middle name filler like today’s Rose, Grace, May.
