Louisa?

[pgwithnumber3]

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 sister's called Louiza, and was always called Lulu until she was around 13 and then started threatening actual bodily harm if we continued to call her that

We call our Weezle
or Weez
or Weezie
(or Louisa)

My dad calls her Lulu

Love it. We were going to call DC2 Louisa. When I was little I had a book called "The Adventures of Madalene and Louisa" Our eldest is Madeleine so it just sounded right. I think I would have shortened it to Lou or Lolly but Lulu is nice too

In the end we got a boy instead!

I love it, so much so it is my DD's name. She is 16 months old and I havent met anyone else with her name.

I think it is a lovely classic name, mind you we do call her Lolly most of the time, not that classic.

It's a lovely, lovely name. It was my grandmother's name - she was born in 1884 - I think its quite timeless and classless too.

It's my daughter's middle name - I sometimes wish it was her first name as her first name has become quite common in the last few years.

Beautiful name.

My middle name is Louise, and really like it. Louisa sounds like the breeze whispering through trees, so good!

How about:

Also like Louisa Hope

I think you might need a short name beginning with a consonant but there may be exceptions. Be warned! I shall let my imagination run riot!

Louisa Penelope
Louisa Maeve
Louisa Dorothy
Louisa Tabitha
Louisa Honour
Louisa Sarah
Louisa Vivienne
Louisa Gray
Louisa Rae
Louisa Pearl
Louisa Violet
Louisa Belle
Louisa Olivia
Louisa Sophia
Louisa Isadora

What about Lois. I have a Lois. Who is sometimes call Lola by her friends.

(Phoenix, I just wanted to say would your LEWIS be pronounced Loo-iz or Loo-ee ('cause the second is spelt Louis) and I am sad to say, that I have a major problem with people who spell their baby boy' name Lewis and pronounce it Loo-ee. Good luck with your babies)

i'm keeping this thread for the next time I need a pick me up!

I agree its a great name, and people will always tell her so...

gastronaught - My Lewis is said correctly Loo-is. I get wound up when people say is that spelt L-O-U-I-S or L-E-W-I-S
