HelpRe: Luisa
in reply to a message by Wordsmith
Unfortunately, in Afrikaans 'luis' is the word for 'louse'. Which puts me right off: I already prefer Louise to Louisa, but the thought of going through life as a female louse is not appealing.

Yikes!!
Don't worry, buddy, the pronunciation is very different. So the sound isn't affected and doesn't affect listeners. Just the appearance!
