Elouise?

Girl Names
1

My grandmothers middle name was Louise. I’m about 15 weeks pregnant (we don’t know gender yet) so I’m starting to think about names. I like the name Eloise but would it be crazy to spell it Elouise instead so it includes all the letters of Lousie to honor my grandmother?

My other top girl names ideas are Nora, Vera, Mila, Claire with middle names of either Anne, Elizabeth or Louise (but obviously wouldn’t use Louise if I pick Eloise/Elouise)

Personally [name_f]Elouise[/name_f] looks like a typo to me. I still think [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] works perfectly fine to honour a [name_u]Louise[/name_u] myself!

[name_f]Elouise[/name_f] is really pretty but [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] honours [name_u]Louise[/name_u] perfectly if you prefer that spelling

I have actually been thinking about Elouise lately and I agree with @anon25197097 that it looks like a typo. I also sounds and bit made up like Alora being spelled Alaura. I think Eloise on it’s own is just perfect to honor Louise. Eloise Anne is perfection.

I think [name_f]Elouise[/name_f] works but I would pronounce it differently to [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] (el-loo-ees vs el-low-ees).

I love the name [name_f]Elouise[/name_f] spelt that way!!!
[name_f]Elouise[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f] and [name_f]Elouise[/name_f] [name_u]Anne[/name_u] sound so great together!!

[name_f]Eloise[/name_f] is a lovely name and a good honour for [name_u]Louise[/name_u]. :slightly_smiling_face:

I’d instinctively pronounce [name_f]Elouise[/name_f] like eh-loo-eez, not [name_f]Eloise[/name_f]. It kind of looks like a misspelling to me to be honest but I really like [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] and it would work!

I’m confused about how the pronunciation would work. [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] is said like Eh-low wheras [name_u]Louise[/name_u] is Like [name_u]Lou[/name_u]. So I think it works in theory but I’m stopping at it each time wondering if I’m saying Eh-low or Eh-Lou

Personally I would just aim for mn [name_u]Louise[/name_u]

I think [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] spelling still honors a [name_u]Louise[/name_u]! I think the [name_f]Elouise[/name_f] spelling looks like a mistake and would get misspelled constantly.

I wouldn’t use [name_f]Elouise[/name_f]. It looks like a typo, and it feels hard to pronounce. [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] is gorgeous!

I love [name_f]Elouise[/name_f] tbh, and prefer it to the original spelling :sweat_smile: [name_f]Elouise[/name_f] [name_u]Anne[/name_u] would be gorgeous! (Also adore the idea of [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_u]Louise[/name_u] / [name_f]Claire[/name_f] Elizabeth!)
