I have a Louis and he only very rarely gets called Lewis, the majority know it’s pronounced Louie. Louie is the more popular spelling but I personally think Louis is so much nicer! I’d say Louis if spelt like this, otherwise I prefer Jude. Both lovely names though.

I don't like Jude at all.

Louis is nice but the Louie spelling is awful. It may be more popular but it's a trend, and the name will date badly.

Much prefer Jude - stronger and edgier

Jude, on the basis that I'm not a fan of the Louie spelling.

I like Louie....when I read Jude I see Jud (As in Mud)...

Jude.
Partly because it's a lovely name and partly because I really dislike the Louie spelling. It reminds me of Donald Duck.
I can't imagine many people genuinely pronouncing Louis as Lewis.
I would still pick Jude over Louis but only just.

My sister has a beautiful Louie. Love the name. She chose that spelling for the same reason. A vote for Louie from me 😊

I prefer Jude. Mumsnet will tell you Louie is an awful misspelling of Louis, but at this point, Louie is more like a variant than a misspelling. Louie is actually more popular than Louis in England and Wales. Though, if you are in the UK I think that most people would pronounce Louis as Louie, rather than Lewis, so I wouldn’t let that put me off.

Louis if you spell it correctly.
