What do you think of Lewis for a boy?

[StillCloudy]

Really just like to know your opinion, really struggling with boys names...

I like Lewis, was considering that as a middle name. What about Ethan, Jack, Finlay? I'm struggling a bit with boys names too! I love Benjamin but DH didn't like a Ben in school dammit!

Depends where you are. In Scotland it's been done to death. Still a nice name though :)

I like it. However, I am more inclined towards Louis (pronounced Lou-ee).

Lewis is nice, though :)

It's fine, perfectly good name

I really like Lewis.

I know a Lewis, aged about 7. It was a joke at their parent's wedding that their children would be called John and Lewis as that was their mother's favourite shop. Guess they must have thought "actually, that's a nice name." I like it.

It's very popular round here, and a couple of the Lewises I know aren't very nice kids, which has put me off.

My DS's friend is called Lewis. He's 7 and a lovely, bright and polite boy. I really like the name because of this, and also like Louis.

Lots and lots in Glasgow.

Like it..

It's ok, but I prefer Louis (Loo-ee)

thanks to a silly friend, whenever I heard the name Lewis I then say it in my head like Inspector Morse

eg (in very deep tone) LOOOOOOOWIS (going up slightly at the end)

juvenile I know and I wouldnt let that put you off

Thanks so much for your responses! Its really interesting.

Well, I'm Australian (living in England) and Ive never met a Lewis in my life! And no plans to move to Scotland either.

Its funny how names or connatations with names stick!

It's everywhere. Way too popular.

Love it. Had a lovely uncle with the name who I remember fondly. Would have loved it for one of my dc's but it sounded a bit odd with our surname.

I like Lewis - good strong solid name, easy to pronounce (unlike Louis which some people prefer to pronounce the French way, Lou-ee).

Like it.

It's chavvy.

We called ds2 Lewis. I love it. He is called Lou Lou or Louie for nicknames.

I still struggle to understand how a name can be chavvy.

It's my nephew's name. He's 16. It's popular for a reason, it's a nice name!

I like it. Our ds mistakenly gets called Lewis a lot and strangely it happened this evening :) his name is quite similar sounding.

Yes extremely chavvy. Only Benedict will do

My brother is a Lewis. Hes nearly two and suits him. If you like it go for it. Doesn't matter what some people on the internet say

Love the name. Reminds me of the Isle of Lewis which can only be a good thing.
