liliputlady · 12/08/2009 19:09

V pretty.
I really love Louise.

Oooh, lovely, good feedback. I agree its v pretty. And I like the connection with Louisa M Alcott (of Little Women fame). My other daughter is Laura, named after Laura Ingalls (of Little House on the Prairie fame).

Classic pretty name but not too girly/babyish so sounds elegant on a grown woman too. Love Laura as well, they sit very nicely together

Lulubee · 12/08/2009 19:28

How funny, I'm Louise (go figure) and my sister is a Laura. I also know two little girls with those names.

pania · 12/08/2009 19:31

Lovely classic name

skibelle · 12/08/2009 19:49

I LOVE Louisa! Not very keen on Louise though (sorry) which would put me off.

madremia09 · 12/08/2009 19:50

my daughter is called Luisa,born in Spain,is the spanish version........we love it and people always comment on how pretty it is

RubyBlueberry · 12/08/2009 20:03

My name.
Obviously fabulous

It's lovely not being Louise, cos there were 6 in my year at school.

I get some strange spellings of it - Lousia, Louisea to name but two but all in all I like it!

boodleboot · 12/08/2009 20:31

i love it...really simple yet timeless. what middle name?

weegiemum · 12/08/2009 20:33

I like Louisa - prefer Louise (dd1 was almost Louise or Elaine but ended up as Katherine)

Nice choice!

piscesmoon · 12/08/2009 20:38

Love it!

belindarose · 12/08/2009 20:41

Love it. Can't have it ourselves as surname begins with 'L' and don't like the alliterative thing.

Phoenix · 12/08/2009 21:04

It was my great grandmas name and we would have used it had ds1 been a girl. His name is Lewis. My grandma was known as Louie to most people.

ravenAK · 12/08/2009 21:05

Nice - classic & elegant.

Lizzylou · 12/08/2009 21:11

I love it, I know of two Louisas and they are very beautiful

loobylu3 · 12/08/2009 21:23

Lovely!

ThePregnantPhantomPlopper · 12/08/2009 22:41

I like it, its on my short list too, although DH isn't too keen.

pointydog · 12/08/2009 22:55

it is very lovely

TimothyTigerTuppennyTail · 12/08/2009 22:58

If I'd had a girl she would have been called Louisa. I love that name.

A colleague at work has a 3yr old called Louisa, they've shortened it to Lolly!

BikeRunSki · 12/08/2009 23:02

Love it. Was on (my) list for DS if he had been a DD, although we went to a wedding where teh bride was Louisa shortly before he was born, so would have looked a bit odd anyway.

Prefer Lousia. I think a Luisa would spend her whole time spelling out her name unless she is Italian. I am all for shortcuts in making life easier.

Tommy · 12/08/2009 23:04

very nice

have a good friend called Louisa
