Louise (/ Louisa) is a pretty and classical name, from a French king / Catholic saint, but it is not very Jewish-sounding. Instead you might consider Levana, Lehava, Levia, Livya, Libi, Libby.

Parents of saints and kings didnt make up names.

Louise is also an all female name. Check on BehindTheName.

Louise is my middle name. my first name is a Jewish name. I like having Louise as a middle name, since my first name (and the name I go by is Jewish), I quite like having a pretty "englishy" name as my middle name. not that anyone even knows I mean I never use it, only in very few documents you have to include your middle name on a form or something.

personally I prefer Louise to Louisa. I also would not call my child a non-Jewish name, but for a middle name I think it's fine

Not really. Mainly because I can't imagine giving a non-Jewish name but also it makes me think of Weezy Jefferson, lol!

I live in Montreal, which is predominantly French-speaking, and I don't know of any babies named Louise. It doesn't even place in the Top 100. Ironically (like rain on your wedding day....) Lea is the most popular girl's name.
