Help[Opinions] Re: Louisa
in reply to a message by Lily
I know a couple Luisas, and I know several women who have Louise as their middle name, but I've never met a Louisa.
Some of the biggest complaints I've heard about Louisa is that loo-EE-za reminds many people of "wheeze" and loo-EE-sa reminds them of "grease." I don't really get the latter, but I've heard it/seen it more than once. Maybe that's enough to keep Louisa from making it onto too many birth certificates. I pronounce it loo-EE-sa, and I don't like it nearly as much as I used to. My heart belongs to lovely Louise now.
I'd pick Louisa over Luisa and Louise over either one.
