Think I've narrowed it down to Louie or Ollie after a long 8 months of trying to think of a name! thoughts? Smile

Have a look at the statistics from the government. Louie is most definitely a boys name! In fact more boys were named Louie than Louis last year!

Louis. Louie is a girl’s name, diminutive of Louise.

Spelling Louis that way indicates that you know people who wouldn’t know how to pronounce Louis.

@DoctorBambino yes, the missing is what has put me off the name Ollie, although I love Oliver!

I much prefer Louie but think it much better spelt Louis.

Much prefer Louie, the way some people say Ollie really irritates me. Not sure how to describe but the woman from the TV show the Missing said it the way I hate. Shame as it's a nice name Smile

Louie spelling reminds me of Donald Duck.

Louie

Louie

Just realised you’re spelling it Louie. I don’t like it as much to look at but it’s still nicer then Ollie imo.

Grufallosfriends · 25/02/2020 17:17

Louie. I also prefer this spelling over the French Louis as the latter is often pronounced Lou-is outside of France.

Oliver/Ollie is so so popular and overused imo

Omashu · 25/02/2020 17:17

I like Louis the most. Probably because I love Louis Theroux and there’s so many Ollie’s!

Louie is much nicer!
