Me and DH are thinking of calling DS1 Lewis - want to hear some opinions from mumsnetters on this. Middle name will be Henry, surname is Robertson. Thank you

I'm another bias one as have a Lewis myself, have only met one other who is in his twenties, we went to a lot of baby groups and toddler clubs and didn't come across another 😁

Great name

Jj2431 · 21/09/2020 10:44

Nice name

I think it's lovely, was on our shortlist :-)

It’s lovely. Reminds me of the film Meet the Robinsons and the cute little boy in that.

There are so many of them! It’s always irrationally a bit of a naughty boys name.

[quote TigerQuoll]@itsjakeandamy how else can it be pronounced?[/quote]
It's pronounced differently by Welsh speakers.

It's lovely. Remember Lewis from Hollyoaks? He was lush!

Louis is usually Loo-ee not loo-is.

I quite like it, and it's not too popular these days Smile

AvoidingRealHumans · 19/09/2020 23:40

Love it but I'm a bit bias as I have a Lewis myself.

itsjakeandamy · 19/09/2020 23:28

I have an irrational dislike of the name. But to be fair, all the ones I know are nice enough.
It's nowhere near as bad as calling a child Louis but pronouncing it Lewis.

Tillygetsit · 19/09/2020 23:11

Very nice.

ALLIS0N · 19/09/2020 21:32

It’s lovely.

DramaAlpaca · 19/09/2020 21:32

Friend’s grandson is Lewis and he’s a lovely lad.
