[Opinions] Louise or Louisa?
Replies
Love Louisa, hate Louise. I pronounce both names with a soft s and I prefer that sound. The Z sound is too harsh imo.
Louise is pretty and very often used as a mn, which is the way I prefer it. As a first name I prefer Louisa - it is less used, and I think the final a gives it a touch of class. There are alot of Louises around from the 1970s. Louisa is more distinctive. I have only ever encountered the z sound and think that's the one to use.

I strongly prefer Louisa (it's in my top ten for girls), but Louise is nice as well.
I pronounce Louisa with a "z" sound.

I would go with the z sound personally!!
