    What spelling?

    Louiza, Louisa, and Louise are all names carried on my maternal side mainly first names but if not then the second name. It is a name we will continue but we have all three spellings in my family and I'm unsure of what one I would like to use tbh.

    Louiza is my great grandmother, Louisa is my grandmother and mine is Louise. I always thought I would use my great grandmothers spelling but now I'm not too sure

    I also have a few more of the above dating back again of of course too

    Oh and we don't even know what sex bubs is yet lol and won't till birthing day

    I like 'a' ending names for middle names, and out of the two, I like Louisa. But of course they are all beautiful and you will love whatever you choose.

    i would go with whichever holds greatest meaning for you. were you closer to either your grandmother of great grandmother? which flows better with the other name (first/middle) and just looks right?

    I was lucky to be close with both as my great grandmother passed when I was 8 or 9 years old. I'm pretty sure it will end with a but unsure of the s or z spelling

    I like them all and I think it will depend on the first name you choose and how that is spelt. Louisa has a softer look to it I think.

    I love the "s" spelling.

    I thought the Z spelling was made up at first because I haven't seen it before and replacing an S with a Z would be a kind of 'in vouge' thing to do. But I do love Zs in names and knowing it is such an old name it would have to be the winner for me!!

    Personally I prefer the s. I agree with Kazzo that the z looks too hard. But it's a beautiful graceful name either way.
