im gonna go against the trend here but I much prefer [name_f]Louise[/name_f]! I think it has more spunk and energy because of the Z sound at the end—for me, [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] has a soft S sound.
[name_f][/name_f]nothing wrong with [name_f]Louisa[/name_f], I think it has a soft, vintage feel that I associate with little girls in tights and a dress with a bow in their hair. that’s just not my favorite vibe.
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Louise[/name_f], on the other hand, is the old woman causing trouble at the nursing home. she’s also [name_f]Louise[/name_f] [name_m]Belcher[/name_m] from Bob’s Burgers, who is sassy, spunky, rebellious, but also has a good heart. (Louise is exactly how I imagine my future daughters to be.)
[name_f][/name_f]both names are great, [name_f]Louise[/name_f] is just way more my vibe than [name_f]Louisa[/name_f]!
