Louise or Louisa for me.

Both lovely. I hate Ellie though. I'd go with Eloise (shortened to Nellie) or Louisa.

Eloise for sure

The Eloise I know isn't an Elle, Ellie or Ella BTW just ab Eloise. My neighbour has just had an Elodie. Maybe all a bit faddy?

Both nice, slight preference for Louise.

Tbh I'm a bit bored of vowel heavy names. All of these are currently in the Top 100: Ella, Luna, Lucy, Lily, Layla, Elsie, Luna, Lottie, Lyla, Eleanor, Ellie, Lara, Leah, Ariella, Arabella. And lots more like Millie, Bella, Talia, Isla, Hallie Amelia etc. It seems as though every other girl name had L's in it, or begins with an L or E.

Eloise. Much prettier.

Louise by a mile. Eloise is a bit of a mouthful and will get shortened to Ellie.
