Louisa, very pretty name

DustyLee123 · 12/01/2024 11:33

I prefer Emma and Louise.

Amdone123 · 12/01/2024 11:34

Louisa is lovely.
I like Emma a lot, too - it's a classic.
I don't really like Alice.

Rainbowqueeen · 12/01/2024 11:34

Like them all but Emma is my fave

Vexxa · 12/01/2024 11:37

They are all lovely and I don't think you can go wrong with any of them.

TellMeAboutYourFather · 12/01/2024 11:40

I like Louise very much but I associate it with school friends because it was the middle name of so many girls. Not that it's wildly different from Louisa of course.

Louisa sounds the freshest.

Emma is nice but we all know a hundred Emmas.

Not a huge fan of Alice.

MrsMitford3 · 12/01/2024 11:42

A vote for Alice here-so pretty!

Emma just too popular/overused and don't like Lou as NN for Louisa

Grumpsy · 12/01/2024 11:44

I also like Alice - not a fan of Louisa - will likely be shortened to Lou. Emma I don’t really have an opinion on

PauaPuffGirl · 12/01/2024 11:50

All lovely names but if I had to choose one it would be Louisa

Greyskiesbutyoucarryon · 12/01/2024 11:51

Uncomplicated timeless names, I like all of them and would be happy to have any as my name. Can't pick a favourite.

My gf is Lucy and got Lu and Lulu at school, it became a nickname that stuck and if she bumps into anyone from school days they'll call her Lu. Something to bare in mind if you don't like Lou.

Toodaloobaloo · 12/01/2024 11:57

Louisa is beautiful. Alice is nice too but I always end up thinking of that line from that bloody awful song!

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 12/01/2024 12:01

Alice is the best. Louisa is a good name. Nothing wrong with Emma, but it's been so popular for so long I'd go for something else.

Theoldwoman · 12/01/2024 13:06

Alice 100%

Onelife2024 · 12/01/2024 13:39

Alice is my favourite- I have a teenage dd called Alice who loves her name!

Emma is in my top 5 favourite names!

Louisa is gorgeous too.

Great choices 😊

NachosAndCheese · 12/01/2024 13:40

Alice bring so popular puts me off. I like Emma.

theduchessofspork · 12/01/2024 19:39

I like Emma the best - it’s a classic but lively too

Louisa and Alice are also very nice, equally so to me. Of those two I’d go with Louisa as it’s least used.

BoleynMemories13 · 12/01/2024 20:15

Emma and Alice are lovely. I prefer Louise to Louisa, the extra syllable makes it feel quite posh and formal somehow. But Emma or Alice are preferable.

FayCarew · 12/01/2024 22:31

In order of preference: Emma, Alice, Louise, Louisa

OopsieeDaisy · 12/01/2024 22:34

Alice is lovely. Emma is ok but I’m not keen on Louisa.

Strawberrycheesecake7 · 12/01/2024 22:43

Alice is one of my favourite names though I prefer it spelled Alys because I’m Welsh. Emma is ok but a bit plain in my opinion. I’m not a huge fan of Louisa.

ThirtyFlirtynThriving · 12/01/2024 22:48

Alice/Alys/Alyce

FayCarew · 12/01/2024 23:03

Alice is nice, Alyce is awful. Alys/Alis only works if you are Welsh

RandomQuestionOfTheDay · 12/01/2024 23:08

Louisa

Feduptosaytheleast · 12/01/2024 23:18

Louisa will constantly be called Louise instead. And like others are saying NN will be Lou or LouLou. Also 'Weezer' stuck for a Louisa I know as her little brother couldn't pronounce it when he started talking, she hates it!
