Beautiful names overall. Rowan Arthur is rugged and gorgeous, and Louisa Jane is wonderful.

---

Other combos I particularly like using Louisa:

---

Anna Louisa
Louisa Caroline
Louisa Catherine

I love Rowan. I'm not usually a fan of Arthur, but it sounds great with Rowan. Arthur makes the combo sound very solid and masculine.

---

Louisa is a name that I want to like more, but I think of the word "wheeze."

---

As far as nicknames go, I'd use Isa (EE-za) as a nickname. I prefer it to Lou, which I'm not all that fond of.

---

Out of your Louisa combos, I like Louisa Jane and Louisa Tamsin the best. I like Beatrix and Phoebe, but they don't flow as smoothly with Louisa.

---

Rowan Arthur is so handsome! Wow, really great combo! I wouldn't choose Rowan myself necessarily, but that it a dashing combo you've got going on. :)

Louisa is not my style, but not bad either. For me, the nickname Louie is a must-have! I love masculine nicknames for girls names.

I sort of like Rowan, but it's not my usual style. I prefer Owen for a boy, which sounds similar. I sort of like Rowan for a girl, in the same way I sort of like Morgan and Tatum on girls, but since I really love girly-girl names, I personally prefer to see girly-girl (but not over-the-top syrupy sweet) names. For example, I just love Rowena for a girl.

---

Louisa I really like. I feel it is both charming and substantial. I can see Louisa really catching on and hear it often on the internet, but have yet to meet a real-life baby Louisa. Like Sophia and Olivia, I don't think I will mind seeing Louisa get popular, since it is so pretty, but I am crossing my fingers and hope it stays under the radar for a few more years. I have my doubts though.

As for nicknames, the most common one I have heard is Lulu - which is just too cutesy for my tastes. In fact, I thought I hated Louisa for a long time, but then realized I really hated Lulu. The same thing is true with Susan and Susanna. I thought those names were boring, until I realized that in reality Sue was what I found boring, and Susan and Susanna are quite lovely, and even Susie, which I used too find too cutesy, I feel has a certain charm in line with Millie, Maggie, Tilly, etc. I find Susie a lot less cutely than Lulu - which still reminds me of a cartoon character.

I myself am not a big fan of Rowan - though I do prefer it on a boy. I know a little Rowan, he's 1 and gorgeous. He's Rowan Mark (Mark after his father). I do like Rowan Arthur as a combo

---

Louisa Jane is a combo I love too :) It reminds me of victorian elegance for some reason. I love it. It's my favourite Louisa combo even though Phoebe is my favourite name ever

I like Rowan for a boy but I love it for a girl. Rowan Arthur is very handsome! Louisa bores me. I used to live in Germany and it was really common there. Also Luisa is common in many Spanish speaking countries and I have met many as well. The combos are all nice, I just don't like Beatrix. Louisa Beatrice would be better. I kind of like Louisa May, but I guess it's too Little Women :P

I prefer Rowan for a boy. and Rowan Arthur is very nice indeed! Of your Louisa combos I like Louisa Jane best.

I love Rowan for a boy. Also Rohan, which is similar but a bit more unusual. Arthur is also brilliant, although I'm not sure whether Rowan Arthur sounds perfect.

Louis is nice too. I'd love to see it as a first name. Louise is really common as a middle name but Louisa is much prettier. Louisa Phoebe is nice.
