What do you think of Eloise and Eloisa? Lately, I am loving both.

Eloise is very nice. Eloisa looks like e-LOY-za to me. I don't like it.

They're both wonderful. I particularly like Eloise as a middle name - it goes with just about anything! As a first name I gravitate more toward Eloisa.

Eloise sounds young and a bit bratty (IMO).

Somehow, Eloisa sounds a little more ageless and elegant. I am found of Louisa and Eloisa has a similar sound.

I like Eloise very much; certainly enough to use.

Like Louisa, Eloisa doesn't seem to need the extra syllable. It adds nothing, and makes the names long and clumsy.

I agree, regarding Eloise and Eloisa. I prefer Eloise, and think it is highly usable. I used to prefer Louisa to Louise, but that was when it was more unusual, and a name that I only occasionally came across, outside the page of Jane Austen's novels. Nowadays, it seems at least as popular as Louise, and I currently adore Louise. It was overused as a middle name, and I'm glad that it is being revived as a first name. It's classic and beautiful.

I adore Eloise. It's in my top five girls names. I like Eloisa too, but I do find it just a tad over the top with the extra syllable.

I think Eloise has the edge for me, too. It will be in my top 10, or even 5, female names, when I next update it.
