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

Suggestions for middle names?

I have a Luisa Rosa (Spanish spelling as husband is Spanish). We have had lots of compliments. I've only met one other Louisa.

I love it. Only reason I didn't choose it was because I didn't like the nickname Lou and I was worried everyone would use that.

Gorgeous name! Love it!

Louisa is a beautiful classic.

AlwaysOnAbloodyDiet · 14/01/2020 20:05

Absolutely beautiful

Very pretty and timeless.

Louisa is lovely Smile

CatteStreet · 14/01/2020 20:01

Lovely, classic and underused.
Eloise is nice too, but please, not Elouise.

I like it, it's a classic.

I'm bias, I think it's beautiful 💕

I really like Louisa and think it's due a comeback.

I think a middle name which starts with a consonant would be good. A vowel would run into the 'a' at the end of Louisa.

I absolutely love it. It’s not too fashionable or prissy but still pretty. It was on my girls list but dh didn’t like.

HarryRug · 14/01/2020 19:32

For all those saying Elouise/a it’s more usually spelt Eloise or Eloisa.

sel2223 · 14/01/2020 19:28

I much prefer Louisa to Elouise. Louisa is beautiful, elegant, classy, timeless....I really like it!

It's hard thinking of a middle name....what does the surname begun with?

MikeUniformMike · 14/01/2020 19:23

Elouise looks like you couldn't decide between 2 names or can't spell.

Why not suggest Loucy or Eloucy for someone who liked Lucy, while you're at it? Or Loucinda and Eloucinda?

KondoKonvert · 14/01/2020 19:21

It's beautiful. Love it.

MikeUniformMike · 14/01/2020 19:10

Elouisa and Elouise are both horrible.
Eloise, Louise and Louisa are all lovely.

@PlantPotting my husband doesn't like Elouise as it's very common in the UK

I love it.

Newbie1981 · 14/01/2020 18:50

My honest opinion is it sounds a little old. But it's still a pretty name

madcatladyforever · 14/01/2020 18:49

It's my name and people have said they like it my whole life so I'm not complaining

PlantPotting · 14/01/2020 18:49

Lovely

How about elouise

JacquesHammer · 14/01/2020 18:48

Utterly gorgeous.

avocadoze · 14/01/2020 18:48

I prefer Elouisa, as that uses all the vowels.
