Lovely!

I love it, I know of two Louisas and they are very beautiful

ravenAK · 12/08/2009 21:05

Nice - classic & elegant.

It was my great grandmas name and we would have used it had ds1 been a girl. His name is Lewis. My grandma was known as Louie to most people.

Love it. Can't have it ourselves as surname begins with 'L' and don't like the alliterative thing.

Love it!

I like Louisa - prefer Louise (dd1 was almost Louise or Elaine but ended up as Katherine)

Nice choice!

i love it...really simple yet timeless. what middle name?

RubyBlueberry · 12/08/2009 20:03

My name.
Obviously fabulous

It's lovely not being Louise, cos there were 6 in my year at school.

I get some strange spellings of it - Lousia, Louisea to name but two but all in all I like it!

my daughter is called Luisa,born in Spain,is the spanish version........we love it and people always comment on how pretty it is

skibelle · 12/08/2009 19:49

I LOVE Louisa! Not very keen on Louise though (sorry) which would put me off.

pania · 12/08/2009 19:31

Lovely classic name

Lulubee · 12/08/2009 19:28

How funny, I'm Louise (go figure) and my sister is a Laura. I also know two little girls with those names.

fiestabelle · 12/08/2009 19:27

Classic pretty name but not too girly/babyish so sounds elegant on a grown woman too. Love Laura as well, they sit very nicely together

Oooh, lovely, good feedback. I agree its v pretty. And I like the connection with Louisa M Alcott (of Little Women fame). My other daughter is Laura, named after Laura Ingalls (of Little House on the Prairie fame).
