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

Suggestions for middle names?

Love it.
Have Spanish friends who have a baby Luisa.

I think it's beautiful

I love it. I know three, all different ages, two known as Lulu.

Love it

It’s my DD2’’s name so obviously I think it is lovely ! She has only encountered two problems- people who think it’s Louise, meaning she has to correct with an ‘ah, it’s Louise -ah ‘ and, when she was younger, personalised keepsakes like key rings etc ( the sort of thing you find on display racks in souvenir shops ) never had her name.

Louisa is a lovely name.

Louisa Elizabeth
Louisa Emma

I really like it. Definitely not Elouisa, which is ridiculous.

IdleBet · 14/01/2020 20:57

Louisa is lovely.

Eloise is a totally different name.

Nextphonewontbesamsung · 14/01/2020 20:55

Absolutely gorgeous name. Love it.

@MikeUniformMike I take it you didn’t like my suggestion then! I was only trying to help. No need for that. But anyway.... Back on topic

redexpat · 14/01/2020 20:48

Ive never met a bad one.

Thatsfinethenchick · 14/01/2020 20:46

Love it

Jamhandprints · 14/01/2020 20:40

I like it, it sounds classic, not dated. I love the spanish version Luisa too but that could look like a misspelling I suppose. It needs a modern middle name though.

MargotB7 · 14/01/2020 20:37

It's lovely

twinkledag · 14/01/2020 20:35

Beautiful! I knew one spelt Luisa when I was younger.

Redonion123 · 14/01/2020 20:35

Love it

robin04031402 · 14/01/2020 20:34

Lovely name! Such a grower name too.
People may call her Lou for short?

Chattercino · 14/01/2020 20:34

Love it

MadisonAvenue · 14/01/2020 20:34

It's beautiful, my grandmother was called Louisa May.

itisthecause · 14/01/2020 20:33

I had a beautiful wonderful aunt Louisa so I'm bias.

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 14/01/2020 20:32

I even know a Louisa who I don't like and it hasn't put me off.

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 14/01/2020 20:31

I like it. Classic.

Wheresthebiffer2 · 14/01/2020 20:30

I like it. pretty name.
I knew someone called Louisa, whose nickname was Louie.

finallychangedmyusername · 14/01/2020 20:28

I love, love, love Louisa. It's pretty, suits an infant/child/teenager/adult, what's not to love?!

AdoptedBumpkin · 14/01/2020 20:28

First thought is Doc Martin's wife!

Personal view. Wouldn't choose it myself, but not awful.
