Leo // Louis?

[iona76]

Partner and I cannot decide between the two. Leo not short for anything and Louis pronounced like the Kings.

Opinions please!

[Belljar71]

Leo.

Leo. Great name. Masculine without sounding too hard. Cool but not flakey. Traditional but not frumpy.

I also like Louis, but would get sick of people pronouncing it American style.

[Edmundo]

Louis.

Louis feels much classier than Leo.

[MelinaM]

[BulletWithAName]

They are both lovely! Good choice

[motherhood]

Louis. My nephew has same name but spelt Lewie.

[effingwotnots]

Leo. Much classier IMO

[pilates]

Def Louis, can't get the picture of Leo Sayer out of my head.

[pinkgirlythoughts]

I'd go with Leo, to avoid the 'is it loo-ee or loo-iss?' confusion.

[Quenelle]

Louis.

I adore it.

I would use Louie, so it doesn't get pronounced Lewis.

[JenaiMarrHePlaysGuitar]

I know several boys named Louis - all secondary school age - I don't think any of them have ever faced the pronunciation issue. And if they did, how big a problem would it actually be? I can't imagine it being that bothersome.

I do like Leo though.

Feck - they're both lovely. Stick 'em in a hat. Toss a coin. Use both ("Loooeeeeleo")

[Quenelle]

Or Leouis.

[yoshiLunk]

Love LEO

Dont love Louis, having said that if you are going to use it spell it Louie as some ignorant people will say it incorrectly.

[CherryDrops]

Leo, much nicer IMO.

[Hedwig3]

Louis as in Louis Armstrong

[mich54321]

Leo is lovely

[wigglesrock]

I love Leo, it was my boys name, just had dd3

[spiderlight]

My OH is a Louis and it's never pronounced wrongly, although people occasionally spell it Louie (which he hates!) I also know a lovely baby Louis and a lovely nursery-aged Leo and a lovely Leon, but Louis is my favourite.
