I like Louisa and Luisa, but Louise feels like a filler middle name (even when it's not presented as a middle name). I feel the same way about Marie, yes it's overused as a middle name but even as a first name I still prefer Maria.
It's also because I prefer the soft "s". Louise has that "eez", like "Geez Louise", but Louisa can be pronounced with the soft s which is a big reason I prefer it. I also like -a endings in general.
