Okay ladies...some of you will simply not like any of these names...and that's ok...plenty I don't like too. But of the following (and you'll see the theme) which do you prefer...if any?

Louise, Louisa or Eloise ...

Thanks!

Eloise

KT1983 · 31/10/2008 11:32

Eloise - very nice

Jojay · 31/10/2008 11:36

Louisa.

Can imagine Eloise being shortened to Ellie, and I'm not so keen on that.

Bubbaluv · 31/10/2008 11:46

Louisa. Agree with Jojay re Ellie.
Lulu, or Lou or Louis are nicer shortenings IMO.

Elouise is lovely! I knew a really stuck up Louisa at school, otherwise I think it's a pretty name (funny how names conjure up personalities)

Louise

Pollyanna · 31/10/2008 11:59

louisa, lulu for short.

DippyDora · 31/10/2008 12:01

Elouise

MrsMattie · 31/10/2008 12:02

Louisa.

BlueChampagne · 31/10/2008 12:57

Louisa

lolianja · 31/10/2008 16:22

Louise! But then since I'm a Louise, I'm probably somewhat biased.

I think Louisa's lovely too.

Louisa

FatFanny · 31/10/2008 19:44

Louisa or Eloise.

RachieB · 31/10/2008 19:46

Eloise

Sparkletastic · 31/10/2008 19:47

Like all of them but Louisa is unusual and very pretty

pamelat · 31/10/2008 19:54

Louisa or Elouise

Plonker · 31/10/2008 20:01

Eloise. The very lovely Eloise that I know has her name shortened to Ella, not Ellie
