HelpWhat's wrong with Louisa?
in reply to a message by Isla
I like Louisa...much better than Luisa. Some people may think it a tad old-fashioned, but is that a valid reason to use Luisa, which is horrible?

she has a right to think Luisa is a horrible name [m]
She has a right to think a name is horrible it's her opinion as this is an opinion's board.

The problem--for me, at least--is that she says it unequivocally: Luisa is bad, badbadbad, and it's clearly lesser than English Louisa. The way her post reads to me suggests that either she thinks Luisa is one of those newfangled misspellings, which is quite ignorant, or that it's just not as good as Louisa, which is ethnocentric.
I'm all for the disliking of names and the admitting to disliking names that you really find ick, for whatever reason. After all, look at my reaction to Harlow (namely JESUS CHRIST IT'S A LION GET IN THE CAR), as just one example. But to me, scholasticastewart came off less as "I don't like this name," and more "This spelling has no inherent value," which I'm hoping we can all agree simply isn't true.

OT...
The JESUS CHRIST ITS A LION GET IN THE CAR thing made me crack up laughing. I've never really heard that other than on the other forum I go on a lot.
Look at this drawing I made (where I oh so explicitly labeled it. XP) : http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v603/Kalianna/IMG_0047.jpg

It's one of my favourite phrases at the moment--I've been a Toothpaste for Dinner fan for a good four, five years now, and that's one of my favourite strips.

Personally, this is my favorite 'image' for that phrase
(But I'm not even slightly "intellectual", lol.)

Oh, I dig all the variations--I just thought the original might be the most appropriate to link to in this case. :)

ah okay I get you now I understand why people were commenting :) [m]
I thought she was just saying she just thought the name was horrible in general.

Luisa's only horrible if you're ethnocentric or ignorant.

Why is Luisa horrible? It's a legitimate spelling.

Luisa's not that bad.
At least it's not Loouessah.
