[Opinions] Re: Luise
Unfortunately, the Afrikaans word for a louse is luis, and the plural is luise. I was familiar with this before I found the German spelling of Louise, so it was no go for me from the start.I prefer Louise to Louisa, and Eloise to both, if that helps!

Wow, I didn't know that! It's kinda funny because I know a girl named Marie-Luise whose first language is Afrikaans :) (her parents are German though and she fluent in German too)
