HelpRe: Louisa or Luisa
in reply to a message by Miss Mustard
There was a Luisa a couple of years younger than me who I knew in high school. Her father is an artist and I often see him at the Pike Place Market. I always say hi to him when I see him.
My sister's mn is Louise so Louisa looks slightly more right but I love both spellings.
Did you get to choose your name in Spanish class? We didn't get to, I am Marisa and I was still Marisa. My husband Tim was Timoteo which on a rare occasion I call my husband.
I am very fond of the name Louisa/ Luisa. I also love Eloise and Eloisa. Louise is a little bland.
If forbid anything should happen to my sister and she died I think I would name a daughter Eloise or Eloisa. My sister loved the Eloise books as a little girl, she wants to have a daughter named Elliott and call her Elle and Ellie, and as I said earlier my sister's mn is Louise. Maybe I shouldn't think of such morbid things but my mind is constantly planning for all kinds of scenarios.
I am partially Mex/ Span and I wouldn't be offended by someone using Luisa. The truth is any name that is European is usually viewed as part of Western culture and Luisa is a spelling used in many places in Europe. Just be warned that some racist American's don't realize that names like Luisa and Maria aren't only Mexican so they might end up the target of discrimination.
