Baby Names

Louise for a middle name?

It's my middle name, along with many other women in my family. Toying with the idea of passing it down. I always hated it as a kid, but have learned to love it in my adulthood. Thoughts?

    I like it! Two of my close friends also have the middle name Louise.
  • Louise is a big name in our family as well. I think kids tend to not like it but embrace it in adulthood...use it!

  • I love the name Louise. The name has been passed down through my husbands family and I plan on using it. If we have a boy we will use Louis to honor his mother and grandmother. Also I know people who use the nn Lucy for it.

  • It's on my list as a mn for a future daughter, after my grandmother Emma Louise. She did not like Emma and preferred Louise.

    Ironically, bith my grandmothers went by their middle names so my two mns are Grace and Louise. Easy. Done.

  • We used it for DD's mn (see siggy). It's a big first and middle name all over DH's side, so we wanted to continue the tradition.  

    FWIW, I think middle names should be used to honor someone or follow tradition rather than just sound pretty (ie, it should be meaningful, not random).

  • I have it and hated it when I was a kid also.  It is my mom's mn also, but I don't intend to pass it down.

  • It's my mom's name, and I've always thought it would make a great middle name.  It's so musical sounding and has that nice two-syllable appeal.  I don't know why anyone would hate it, but I guess I'm biased.
