I love Louis - so long as it's pronounced 'loo-ee', not the same as Lewis.

I don't mind Theo but I feel it should be short for Theodore, and also it's had such a surge of popularity recently, for a name that used to be rare, that I predict it might feel dated in the future.

Louis as long as it's spelled that way.
Theo's fine but the 'th' may be pronounced 'f' by some people which would put me off.
Both nice names.
