I know a Louette who was named after her grandmothers, Henriette and Louise.It works very well for her, and people like it. Her fn is actually Suzanne, but she's never gone by it.Alouette is too close to the song.

If you could find a place that wasn't familiar with the song, it could work. It is a pretty word. I could sing the first verse before I even learned French.

I would totally use it! :3 I used to sing that song all the time when I was little, so it is a good association for me. The song is about the Canadian fur trade. Plus, I think it's such a pretty name.

Unfortunately, I think of cheese. Sorry.

Definitely not, in my opinion, unless you are naming her for the song, which is about plucking feathers off a small, dead bird. Also, Alouette is a brand of cheese.

agree as wellNot only is the song about plucking feathers from a dead bird, but it's supposed to have a sexual innuendo (not really sure why, but apparently it has).

Oh, I wasn't aware of the song! I knew about the cheese, but that didn't bother me much. The song does, though. Thank you for bringing it to my attention!

Oh wow, I grew up speaking French at school... I never, ever thought about the lyrics of the song and now I'm kind of scarred.

Me too! I knew the song, but never thought about the lyrics either :O

My thoughts exactly.I can only think of the song. It would be really annoying if you had to hear it every time you introduced yourself.
