[Opinions] Eloisa
I am currently bored with all my girls' favourites, and I came up with Eloisa. WDYT? How do Eloisa Anna or Eloisa Paola sound (both mn honour)? Also, I am generally against the idea of using anything but the actual name or a close variant for honouring purpose, but could Eloisa honour Luisa since it's so close-sounding?

Etymologically, presumably not. But as you say, the sound is probably enough.
I find Eloisa inconvenient and rhythmically unpleasing, but I love Eloise and given enough daughters would have used it somewhere. I also prefer Louise to Louisa.

Honestly I wouldn't have made the connection but if you do tell the concerned people it's a honouring name, then I guess it works. It's not like everybody needed to know about it, and the intention matters.
I like the flow of Eloisa Anna better. Eloisa is not bad but I like Luisa/Louisa so much more.

I think the combos are a little -a heavy. Eloisa Anne would be better, or Eloise Anna.
I'm also against using anything but the actual name for honouring purpose. I guess Eloisa woud honor Luisa, but if you want to honor Luisa I would use that, or maybe Eluisa.
