Louisa?

I love the name for a little girl, but what do you think for nicknames or shorter names? Lou... Louie... is that too boyish?! WDYT?

I love the name Louisa. If I had a daughter named this, I could see myself calling her Lu or Lulu for fun, but always introducing her as Louisa.

I had an Aunt Louisa, and I believe she was called Lulu or Lula most of the time.

I love the name Lousia! I wanted to use it as a full name for Lucy, but DH vetoed.

I LOVE this name; so pretty and elegant-sounding.  I think Lou and Louie are cute nns, as are Lulu or Lula.  I'm also partial to Ouiser, from an undying love for Steel Magnolias.  I don't really see the need to have a predetermined nickname; something is bound to "stick" once you see her.  You'll have lots of options with this name.

I know two Louisa.  One is nicknamed L.A. like the state abbreviation for Louisiana.  (She had a mean stepbrother.)  The other is Ouida, pronounced Weed-ah.  She was nicknamed after a dead aunt with the same name.
