[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Louise is lovely. Old names are in. I know kids named Maude and even a Mildred. If you do Louisa, everyone will call her Louie-sah like Encanto (and will assume that's who you named her after).[/quote]

OP: I’ve seen Encanto and don’t remember a character named Louisa. Is she very memorable? I associate Louisa more with Dickens and Austen.

We’d pronounce the name as Louie-za with an emphasis on the i. Is this intuitive?

Appreciate the feedback so far! Happy to know Louise is not considered too old-fashioned or frumpy but that it doesn’t flow well with Charlotte.[/quote]o

It kind of goes without saying that kids are going to be more familiar with Encanto than with Dickens or Austen. The film character is Luisa.

I know both young Louises and Louisas so both are currently being used. Louise is gaining in popularity, Louisa peaked a few years ago. It fits with the trend of names for girls that all end in A (Olivia, Emma, Amelia, etc).
