Only a middle name but cannot decide. I like Leo better but this maybe Lewis goes better...

Samuel Leo or Samuel Lewis

What do you think?

Both names are fab !
I think Lewis sounds better with Samuel though.

SantasLittleMonkeyButler · 20/08/2014 12:10

Samuel Leo.

Unless Lewis is a family name you want to use.

HaroldLloyd · 20/08/2014 12:10

Leo, for no real reason I am not a fan of Lewis.

Kantha · 20/08/2014 12:28

Leo.

I like Louis (pn. Loo-ee) too.

Lewis - the name Leo has shot up out of nowhere. Lewis is more timeless.

pommedeterre · 20/08/2014 12:54

Thanks all, no neither is a family name - Samuel is so this is free choice.

I do think I prefer Leo.

I also keep thinking that buying him lion things might be cute... The dds both have a plant name as first or middle name so then they'd all have 'things'. Might be overthinking it somewhat though!

I think Lewis goes better with Samuel, both are nice names though.

Go with Samuel Leo. You prefer it. It sounds fine, it's not difficult to say or anything.

It will be nice to have some sort of link between your DC's names.

FWIW I think Samuel Leo looks nicer written down than Samuel Lewis.

Montsti · 20/08/2014 14:23

I prefer the name Leo so would go with that!

Sophronia · 20/08/2014 18:41

Samuel Lewis sounds better but I prefer Leo.

Umbrellasandladders · 20/08/2014 19:53

Would have gone for Leo myself if next one a boy

Umbrellasandladders · 20/08/2014 19:54

Leo definitely

HaroldLloyd · 20/08/2014 19:54

I think Samuel Leo sounds a bit nicer together personally.

Go with your gut feeling on it I would.

DitzyDonkey · 20/08/2014 19:57

Leo, Lewis is AWFUL!

Lewismummy2202 · 20/08/2014 21:30

What's AWFUL about the name lewis ditzy donkey?

HaroldLloyd · 20/08/2014 21:36

Awkward Grin

Bowlersarm · 20/08/2014 21:37

Leo

Theonlyoneiknow · 20/08/2014 22:01

Lewis is a fab name, gets my vote

HollyBen · 20/08/2014 22:27

I think Lewis sounds better and am not a fan of Leo

TheOldestCat · 20/08/2014 22:28

Lewis is gorgeous. But so is Leo. (sorry - no help!)
