I used to HATE the name Louisa because at primary school that was the name of the class bully, everyone hated her. But then she left school. After that I read Pride and Prejudice and now I think it's a BEAUTIFUL name.

Louisa was used as the name of the second von Trapp daughter in the movie "The Sound of Music". Louisa's character represented the real second daughter, who was named Maria "Mitzi".

I knew a girl of Chinese origin and she spelt it Luissa, but she wasn't that nice and she sort of ruined the name for me.

I think this is a really lovely name. I automatically think of Louisa May Alcott when I hear this name.

This name is much better than Louise. I have heard it pronounced Lu-eez-uh or Lu-ees-uh.

Louisa Musgrove is one of the two Musgrove sisters in Jane Austen's Persuasion. She's depicted as fun-loving and high-spirited, and the more reserved Anne Elliot (the heroine) believes the man she loves is attracted to Louisa because of it. Louisa's foolish jump from the seawall at Lyme Regis results in her death, and it's probably the most famous part of the novel.

Louisa Musgrove did NOT die after jumping off the wall at Lyme. She recovers from her injury, and marries at the end of the novel.

Great choice if you're looking for something classical, yet whimsical. Call her Lou or Lu. That's just so sweet!
