Hi,
We are choosing between these two names... which one is prettier? 💕

I have learned that there is a jewellery shop called "Lovisa" - does this ruin the name?, which otherwise is an old Swedish name.

*we have Scandi heritage, hence the slightly unusual names...

Elise is better than Louvisa do you pronounce the V? These shops are popping up everywhere I wouldn't personally.

I too immediately thought of the shop.

The jewellery shop does ruin the name imo. Its a cheap n tacky shop!

Is this still as a middle name for Agnes, OP? I hope you haven't let people put you off that - it's so gorgeous! If I'd had a second d DD she'd have been Agnes.

I like Elise better as a mn but honestly both are really nice. If you're swerving on a first name, Lovisa.

Lovisa sounds clunky to me.

Elise is gorgeous.

Never heard of the shop Lovisa. I think it is a lovely name.

Definitely Elise, but maybe that's because I have one!

I presumed you mistyped Louisa. In the UK, she would be constantly correcting.

However it is a shame when people avoid using their own cultures names just to avoid confusion

Lovisa. No. The shop is an upmarket version of Claire’s and catnip to teens. I’d go with Elise which is lovely.

I immediately thought of the shop seeing Lovisa.

Elise 🫶

I was coming on to say Lovisa is a shop. Please don't name your child that. What about Louisa or Eloise?
