[Opinions] Louisa...WDYT?

How do you feel about Louisa? I've always loved it, but never really considered it because it is the name of a small, rather hick-ish town that I grew up near. Actually, I think that is where DH's mother was born.
Also, what do you think of the group Caleb Nicholas, Phoebe Caroline, and Louisa Katherine? (note: Caleb Nicholas is the name of my ds)

Louisa is a fave of mine. It has an elegant feel to it yet offers spunky nns. It's a great twofer. I'd love to see a young Louisa.

Re: the other combos, they all flow quite well and would make a nice sibset. I especially like Louisa Katherine.

I prefer Eloise Katherine or Katherine Louise.

I like Phoebe and Caleb too.

I love it.

I really like Louisa. It's feminine and elegant, and not overly used. Four vowels in a six-lettered name is impressive too!

I also like the spelling Luisa but it may not work with your other children's names.

I love Louisa. It's among my top ten for girls. It's definitely an underappreciated and underused name.

The sibling set is fine. :)

I love Louisa, it reminds me of Louisa Alcott (author of "Little Women"). Louisa and Caleb go well together, not quite sure about Phoebe though. Louisa Katherine is very classy!

I love Louisa. It's much better than Louise. Your whole sibset is very Victorian chic. Me likey.

I adore Louisa. It is one of only four girl names I can see myself using in real life. Louisa Katherine is a nice combo, though I'm not a fan of Katherine. I think it's a nice sibset overall, but I just can't like Phoebe. I really dislike the sound and look of it.

Louisa is one of the names that I really, really hate. I think it sounds like someone is wheezing: Lou-WHEEZ-ah. Yuck.

I like Caleb Nicholas and Phoebe Caroline. Louisa Katherine sticks out like a sore thumb: Caleb, Phoebe, and Louisa. I think Katherine Louisa would sound better.

Louisa's beautiful! However, I dislike it as a sister to Caleb and Phoebe.

Very nice combo. I must also comment on your evenly complementary sibset. It is rare to see such well-matching, subtly arranged sibsets on this forum.
