Mack, Louis or Guy?

[nearlyuptheduff]

help me choose.... I love them all.

[evamummy]

Love Mack and Guy!

[QueenOfTheMadhouse]

Mack! But then i'm biased as i have one

[Rubirosa]

Louis. Mack sounds like a nickname to me and you'll forever have people asking what it is short for. Guy I just don't like.

[redrubyshoes]

Louis is my favourite name for a boy ever.

[hugebumpbelly]

I prefer Guy - simple, classic and masculine.

Mack sounds very harsh (and wouldn't work in many other languages) and Louis has the pronunciation problem (French Lou-ee vs English/German Lou-is).

[AThingInYourLife]

Not Mack

[nearlyuptheduff]

thanks all for your input! I am still none the wiser... such a big decision to make.

[FootballFriendSays]

Louis

[underthevalley]

Mack is a bit canine.
Louis I like (but what way are you pronouncing it?)
Guy I like (again would it be the French or the English?)

[MagdalenaAlec]

Louis! Both pronunciations (FR and ENG) are nice IMO. I am biased since it is DS's 3rd name, and Louise will probably be DC2 middle name if it turns out it is a girl.
I do not like Mack and Guy would be weird in the US (I do like its ENglish pronunciation though - not the French one)

[StepOutOfSpring]

Mack - sounds like a burger
Louis - OK
Guy - sounds like a bloke

[StepOutOfSpring]

How about Max, Luke, Lucas, Gregory?

[Lunarlyte]

Louis :)

[littletomato]

Louis (or Lewis) is gorgeous.

[usualsuspect]

Louis

[WithACherryOnTop]

Definitely Louis.The other two are awful.

[lisaro]

Louis is fab! Guy is ok, Mack is just silly. It's not a name.

[JamieandTheOlympicTorch]

I like all of them. On balance, Mack - short for Mackenzie?

[LetsKateWin]

Mack

[outtolunchagain]

I have one of these,the shortest .It does suit him and he is the only one at school although ds2 who is older has two at school with him .I also liked Ned and Hugo but dh is very fussy about names .

I am afraid I don't like Mack ,Louis is nice as long as it's not pronounced Lewis

[jaffacakehips]

Guy!!

But Louis and Mack are also brilliant not much help

[kim222]

LOVE Mack, think it's such a good name for a boy, different and adorable

[nearlyuptheduff]

I do really like Mack, it wouldn't be short for anything. I don't really like names that can be shortened if I'm honest.

I think if we went for Louis it would be pronnounced looowee.

Guy is very manly but fairly uncommon which I think is why I also like it.

I also really like Jude for a boy. DH HATES it though!

My girls shortlist is:

Milla, Renee, Nell and Erin

[thegreylady]

My ds is Guy and I love it but when he was young there was a tendency for his classmates to change the u to an a both on his books and when saying it.It was a short phase but distressing while it lasted.Now he is an adult,and since he was about 14, he likes the name very much.

[nearlyuptheduff]

thanks thegreylady. Never thought of that. It's a good point!
