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.

Eloisa has been in my top 5 names for years, I adore it, it's beautiful! It does sound very close to Luisa (which I also love!), so it could be honouring.

---

The combo's don't work for me though

Yes, Eloisa would definitely work to honor a Luisa. I like Luisa much better, though. I never like Eloise nor Eloisa much.

---

Anna bores me a bit and I much prefer Pauline or Paulina over Paola.

---

Luana Pauline, Luana Annabelle or Luella Paulina would be lovely.

I prefer Eloise to Eloisa. It sounds "cleaner."

---

Eloisa Anna is my favorite of the two combos.

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.
