Louisiana

What do you think? In light of [name]Reese[/name] Witherspoon naming her child [name]Tennessee[/name]. My grandmother is from [name]Louisiana[/name], and I think [name]Louisiana[/name] is really pretty. You get [name]Louisa[/name], [name]Lulu[/name], [name]Ana[/name], and [name]Isi[/name] as nicknames from it.

[name]Do[/name] you think it is usable? And what first and middle names would you pair [name]Louisiana[/name] with?

I don’t care for place names for children, but for me, [name]Louisiana[/name] presents pronounciation problems as well.

I’ve heard it pronounced lew-ee-zee-an-a and lew-wee-zee-an-a and lew-zee-an-a.

I actually like it! I think it is very versatile .

I like it, I think it’d make for a nice name on a person.

I actually kind of like it, better than [name]Louisa[/name] by itself (which I know is a big hit on nb). I think it is totally usable as long as you were careful not to use a word name in the middle… otherwise it becomes descriptive and geographical ([name]Louisiana[/name] [name]Rose[/name], [name]Louisiana[/name] [name]Summer[/name]).
Likewise you’d have to be aware that a lot of girl names rhyme with it, so you don’t end up with [name]Diana[/name] [name]Louisiana[/name]. =]

I personally really love [name]Louisiana[/name], if I were more gutsy, I might use it myself. I think it’s adorable and offers a slew of nn options

Im from [name]Louisiana[/name] and I think its cute. Since you have a special connection to the name it makes it even better! I dont think as a MN it would work as well… seems better as a FN to me. [name]How[/name] about…

[name]Louisiana[/name] [name]Eloise[/name]
[name]Louisiana[/name] [name]Nicole[/name]
[name]Louisiana[/name] [name]Frances[/name]
[name]Louisiana[/name] [name]Evangeline[/name]
[name]Louisiana[/name] [name]Genevieve[/name]

I really like that! Never heard of it before, but I think it’s a perfectly lovely, name-like place name. If [name]Georgia[/name], [name]Virginia[/name], [name]Tennessee[/name], [name]Carolina[/name], and [name]Dakota[/name] can do it, why not [name]Louisiana[/name]?

[name]Louisiana[/name] [name]Frances[/name] is nice! Thank you. :slight_smile:
