I mean as a first name............lots of lovely Louises out there with that as a middle name but five out of five Louises I have met have all been pretty dreadful.

My cousin is Chloe and she's very sweet

weebleswillwobble · 10/04/2015 12:12

Rhian's are lovely (Wales)

abyssiniam8 · 10/04/2015 12:13

Oh, and I may be called Louise so you will dislike me I suppose, but at least I can spell PLEASANT....

Lj8893 · 10/04/2015 12:13

I have know some nice Louise's, and some not so nice Louise's.

Every Amy/Aimee/ami I have met have been lovely!!

01ay · 10/04/2015 12:13

I know a nice Amy. Felicitys OTOH are always vile. Felicity Kendal is probably only pretending to be lovely.

WinterBabyof89 · 10/04/2015 12:14

My SIL is called Louise - she's lovely :)

manicinsomniac · 10/04/2015 12:34

How can you not know a nice Louise? It's such a common name for the 70s-90s generation. Some of the ones you've met must be nice! I can think of at least 6 off the top of my head and they're all lovely.

Also know loads of nice Amys, Claires and Natashas. In fact I have close friends with all three of those names. Also know a couple of lovely Felicitys, Chloes, Simons, Amelias and Nicolas.

I'm not keen on the only Rhea I know but that's a sample of one.

IsadoraQuagmire · 10/04/2015 12:52

I do have a lovely friend named Louise, and even if I didn't, it's Louise Brooks's name which makes it automatically awesome as far as I'm concerned! Grin
On the other hand, I've never met a Rebecca I liked...

TheoriginalLEM · 10/04/2015 12:54

My name is Louise- im a total bitch. You may have a point

Kajamite · 10/04/2015 12:55

2 out of the 3 Louises I've met are absolutely lovely. The other one not so much.

I've met a lot of Ashleys though and not a single one was nice

TheoriginalLEM · 10/04/2015 12:55

isadora my dd1 is called Rebecca so with respect, go fuck yourself! see, told you...

Notso · 10/04/2015 13:04

I know a truly lovely Louise.

ClaudetteWyms · 10/04/2015 13:06
Shock

I know a very lovely Louise.

ThursdayLast · 10/04/2015 13:07

I've never been close to a Louise.

Siobhan's aren't popular with me Wink

AggressiveBunting · 10/04/2015 13:10

I have 2 lovely friends called Louise. I was bullied at school by a Lucy and it has tainted the name for me to the extent I could never use it for a DC, even though I now have a really close friend called Lucy.

Chippy You're right about Sally's. All 3 of the ones I know are totally bonkers (lovely, but bonkers)

BitterChocolate · 10/04/2015 13:10

I've only known nice but shy Louises. I am a Nicola, and it is entirely true that I am nasty and selfish. Grin

Pamelas are very superior and judgemental IME (I've only met three, but they are all superior).

idontknowmyusernameanymore · 10/04/2015 13:12

I know a horrid Louise. my sister [crying with laughter]

GatoradeMeBitch · 10/04/2015 13:13

It could change. I've never met a pleasant Lauren, but I'm not prejudiced against all Laurens. (Just wary...)

SnotQueen · 10/04/2015 13:16

I wonder if any of you are talking about the same Louise?
The one I know is fine but has crazy hair. (Not that that is a bad thing - she werks it)

I dont know a nice Kerry.

Tattiesthroughthebree · 10/04/2015 13:19

I know two Louises, one in her 40s, one teen, and they're both lovely.

Longdistance · 10/04/2015 13:24

Rachel

I know Louise's, and only one was pleasant, everyone else was mean.

I however can vouch, that Nicola's are the devil reincarnate.

usualsuspect333 · 10/04/2015 13:29

What a stupid thread.

IsadoraQuagmire · 10/04/2015 13:34

The original Rather an extreme response, don't you think? I doubt if I've actually met met your daughter...

ChrisQuean · 10/04/2015 13:35

Ha, that's always been my theory too, OP (nothing at all to do with the class bully at school and my evil stepmother being called this...Grin) although I'm sure there are lovely people called Louise out there somewhere.

MoominKoalaAndMiniMoom · 10/04/2015 14:11

I've only ever met a vile Bryony.

Never met a nasty Steph.

I know one Louise who is a piece of work and one who is lovely, but several Louisas and all of them are fab.
