I like it & consider it a classic name; and due to the Sesame Street (real life) adult character, I've always thought the name to be for anyone of either gender. I grew to learn Lou (of any spelling) to be male - yet I love to meet or learn of ladies that "wear it so well".

I had an aunt who was always called Lou. Her name was actually Louisa, but I didn't know that until I grew up. I'd say she"wore Lou well". :)

Its a wonderful short name (or even formal name for that matter) for a lady I now tend to consider the name - the aggregate - amidst numerous variations (including Lewis, Louisa, Lois, Lulu / Lu - etcetera) to be more feminine; but I'm happy for males (Louis, Lewis, Louise, or Louise) as well.
