Comments for the name Louisa

Famous bearer is author Louisa May Alcott.

I think Louisa is much prettier than Louise.

One of the von Trapp children in Sound of Music was called this.

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.

Beautiful. Also has a beautiful meaning.

I love this name. My daughter is called Louisa Eve. I think it is 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 Gradgrind is a character in Charles Dickens' novel "Hard Times."

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.

Louisa Chick is a character in Charles Dickens' novel "Dombey and Son."

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

My sister's name is Louisa. Louisa is very classical, pretty, and much more unique than Louise!

Very pretty name - I prefer Louisa to Louise.

I think this name is beautiful. Much more pleasant to hear than Louise. :)

Louise sounds a little tired to American ears in the first name spot now, so Louisa is becoming a more commonly given name to newborns. Louisa still doesn't rate in the top 1000, but it is climbing.

This is my name and I adore it. I was never teased about my name probably because it's an enticing name, not to brag though :)

Louisa Catherine Adams was the wife of John Quincy Adams (the 6th presidnt of the United States of America).

Throughout the centuries, Louisa has been used frequently and consistently in The Netherlands and Germany - and it is still used today. Perhaps not as common as used to be, but e.g. in The Netherlands there were 27 Louisa's born in 2010. As such, Dutch and German should be added to the 'Usage' section for Louisa. [noted -ed]

Louisa (1692-1712) was the youngest daughter of King James II of England and his second wife Mary of Modena.

Louisa Moritz was an American actress.

My name is Louisa and I really love my name :)
