Sorry, keep starting these name threads but I do like to have feedback on names.

Louisa for a girl (obviously), what do you think. Has a special meaning as have lovely SIL call Louise and wonderful cousin also called Louise, both very special people to us.

I would probably shorten it to Lulu as a term of endearment.

My great grandma was Louisa and she passed away a few weeks before i found out i was pregnant so we were considering Louisa/Louise/Lucy for the baby if a girl, but he was a boy so is Lewis

I love the name Louisa.

It also has that rare quality that it works on someone who drives a ten-year-old Nissan Micra and works in the HR department or someone who travels by private jet and is a world authority on Meiji-era netsuke.

That is what I am trying to find, a timeless name. It has more to it than just Louise as well.
