What do you think of Luigia (three syllables, not four), a starchy, baroque alternative to Louisa/Luisa? I'm quite taken with it and wonder if it's considered an old-lady name in Italy.Some combos:Luigia Rosalind
Luigia Caroline
Luigia Dorothy
Luigia Claudia
Luigia Fiammetta
Luigia Benedetta
Luigia Minerva
Luigia Cecily
Luigia Cybele
Luigia Leonora
Luigia Cosima
Luigia Verity
Luigia Romola
Luigia Clementine
Luigia Ingrid

As an Italian I don’t see how Luigia is baroque, it feels very dowdy. It’s indeed considered old-ladyish, Luisa is more timeless.

It'd be interesting to see used more often, but it reminds me of Edvige, and I feel like that's more fun.The combos that are standing out to me are Caroline, Minerva, Cybele. Luigia Minerva is probably my fav.

I'm sorry, I know Luigia (three syllables) is a traditional Italian name, but to me, it sounds too much like Ouija Board for me to form any constructive opinion on combos.

Huh, I never thought about that; it does sound very similar to "Ouija". That makes it interesting.

I like the four syllable version, but not the three letter one. I think it’s the repeating “ee” sound that I like, similar to Cecilia. I really like Luigia Rosalind
