Eloise or Louisa

[brightcopperkettles]

My very favourite name in the whole world (this week :)) for the bump is Eloise. DH is unsure about whether it tranfers well as an adult name and has also suggested Louisa which I like very much as well.

Which do you prefer and what is your opinion on Eloise? Middle name would probably be Kate. DD is Sasha Isobel.

I love Louisa

LOL at 10 in every class. If there were 10 Isabellas in every class of 30 children (15 boys, 15 girls) that would mean two thirds of girls were called Isabella!

Eloise

I like both of them, they both work well as adult names but I think Louisa goes slightly better with Kate.
Eloise Kate
Louisa Kate
yep, second one "scans" better for me. However - Sacha and Louisa both end in 'a' (if that matters at all to you) so Eloise would be more different, iyswim.

Pros and cons for both - or you could go for Elodie? I know a high up solicitor called that...

The only Eloise I know (11yo) is very high maintenance. Right proper little minx.
Louisa the next Isabel? Hunh? Pretty obvious that "Ruby" already has that accolade.

Louisa is lovely, although I'm not wild on Lulu as nn. I know a 10yo Louise, and no one else called Louise or Louisa under 45.

like Eloise or Héloise

They are both lovely and both on my list for if bump is a girl. I would say that Louise is possibly the more common of the two (ime) and, would prob go for Eloise.

I'm a Louisa too and have always really liked my full name but cringe at being called Lou. I suppose Eloise might be shortened to Ellie, but better than Lou!
