DP wants this for DC2 if he's a boy, but I'm not convinced....

Help convince me...or not!

There are lots of Louis' about - if that's something that bothers you, pronounced both ways. I teach 5 - 4 are loo-ee and I Lewis

Also, doesn't the French pronunciation sound like loo (ie)?!

evamummy · 03/05/2014 22:57

I know a Louis who pronounces it the English way, Lou-is. And a Luis.
It's not a name I particularly like.

It can be confusing how to pronounce - at my school there are boys who pronounce it both ways and get annoyed if you get it wrong. Might be annoying. Although I think it should be said Louie, right?

Lovely name!

Love it.

noblegiraffe · 03/05/2014 21:12

Is it to be pronounced Lewis or Louie?

I've come across a few at school, with it pronounced differently. Could be irritating I suppose.

Love it

As long as you don't have (or go on to have) a Netty, Willy or Fanny it's fine.

EyelinerQueen · 03/05/2014 21:10

Really dislike it.

Giraffeski · 03/05/2014 21:09
