Louise
I love my name and I do consider that name to be strong and a fighter because I am but only when I need to. But most about the name is that Louise to me stand out and it popular. My dad name me Louise after his best friend so that is also special to me. This is only my thoughts about the name Louise.
May
I always wanted a big family, but I had a hard time getting pregnant. Louise is my first child, but I am now pregnant again. I will have an another daughter, her name will Eliza after her grandmother. I think it sound good: Louise and Eliza. I hope they will have lot of siblings :DD
Aubrey
A strong name. Makes me think of an intelligent, no nonsense & solid person. Cool how it means warrior Princess or strong in battles.
diana
Secretly it’s from “Thelma and Louise”… I just love that movie!
But it’s also my husband’s grandmother’s name so that’s what I tell people
