Opinions on Lewis, please?

[GingerLeaves]

Just thinking of names for DS3... Thoughts on Lewis?

I'm near London

It's a bit surnamey, but also a perfectly good name.

Louis?

Very popular here, I know 3 7yo boys called Lewis and another called Louis (Louie). It's fine.

V popular in NW.

I really like it. I've only ever met one other (Staffs) and that was years ago.

I think it is a great name. I am in Scotland but still don't come across too many.

I prefer Lewis to Louie -you know where you stand. Strong name, generally well behaved.

Perfectly nice name but its popularity would put me off using it.

Lovely

Love the name Lewis (Scottish but have only come across 3).

Common here (like Isla, Harris etc) - also Scotland!

If you like Lewis - have you considered other Scottish boys names - Hamish, Angus, Innes, Fergus, Ramsay, Ruardiah etc?

Love it.

It's so well established as a first name it doesn't sound surnamey to me.

I know s few but that's over the past 30 years, they're spread out, lol. It's nice.

Very popular

Meh

Popular, really? I've only ever known 3 (and that was when I was at school)

I like it (much better than Louis) and I don't think it's overly popular (I'm in southwest)

There are zillions of Lewises where I am (Scotland).

Ds1 is 10 and out of the 60 odd kids in his school year, there are 4 called Lewis. There are another 2 in our street plus umpteen others. They all have to be referred to as Lewis

Just to confuse things a bit - my Welsh grandmother pronounced her surname as Lyew-is.

Not keen.

Much prefer Louis.

Love it - but yes, popular in Scotland

I like Lewis :)
It's my older brothers name and it suits him down to a T. I think it's a nice classic name with a gentle touch to it

I don't like it only because I know 2 cheeky boys called Lewis
