Your little fighter deserves a name as fierce as they are! Ouida is a feminine moniker of English origin, with Old German and French roots. Derived from the classic name Lousie, Ouida has often been used as a rather unique nickname. However, it certainly stands firmly in its own right and feels both modern and timeless. Most famously associated with English novelist Maria Lousie Ramé, who used the pseudonym Ouida, this name also belongs to many other writers, such as American novelist Ouida Sebestyen and American screenwriter and actress Ouida Bergère. So, whether baby prefers the might of a sword or a pen, we think they are destined for greatness.
