I prefer Lovise, but Lovisa is my second favorite. Visa would really be a cute nickname if you're Swedish because it means song.

I like this name a lot. I generally like names related to Louisa. It's strong, elegant and so sophisticated. But also very delicate at the same time. And it reminds me of love. And it is so very melodic, it even has -visa at the end, which means song in Swedish.
Lovisa is a middle name of a Swedish singer Ebba Andersson, who's one of the members of an ensemble called Erato.

The ending (visa) reminds me of the card. Visa card. Like using credit or debit cards instead of cashSo can't get around that.

Am I the only one who noticed that this name spells "love is a"? It's pretty interesting. I had a character named that in one of my old stories. She was hippy-ish and had magenta hair :D.
Lovis is another, newer version. It was used by Astrid Lindgren in her book Ronia the Robber's Daughter, and has taken off in popularity. I'm not sure if Lindgren thought of it herself, or had heard it somewhere.

Two Swedish queens have born this name. Queen Lovisa Ulrika, princess of Prussia (1720-1782) and Queen Lovisa, princess of Netherlands (1828-1871). Lovisa is also a town in Finland, named after Queen Lovisa Ulrika (Finland was a part of Sweden at this time).
