blech. Like Mabel, Hazel and other old lady names that are back in style so the parents can feel like they gave their kid a "classic" name.

Love it! Its on our list with the same nickname!!!

Louise is not to my personal liking, but I LOVE Louisa.

Love Josephine. Nice choice.

I think Eloise or Louisa sound a bit fresher but I could see Louise growing on me. I don't care for the nickname Lulu at all.

Weezie is a common nickname. Think Jeffersons.

Eloise is cute. Louise is ok. Lulu doesn't pass the "boss" test.

It's in the Agnes/Eunice category to me.

I think Louise is pretty. I think Lulu is a little too cutsey and what you might name a dog (sorry!!!!). But Lou or even Lula could be nice. (I can't explain why Lulu sounds too "precious" to my ear, but Lula does not.) I knew a Weezie, too. She was pretty, rich, and preppy, and the name just fit her.

What about Lou instead of Lulu?

I prefer Louisa. Louise just sounds sooo old lady like.

I know a baby Louise and she's adorable and it fits! Go for it.

My great grandmother's name was Louise (French ancestors) and I love that name. It is beautiful, classy, and a fun name also.

Ugly name

My French neighbor in NW named her daughter 'Louise'. When she told me while she was pregnant-- I wasn't crazy about it. Once the baby was here- I found it adorable. 'Baby Louise'--cutie.
