Louis Hughes

I really love the name Louis (inspired by another thread). This is going to sound crazy but the thing that puts me off is it reminds me of that band Huey Lewis & The News Grin

Completely hypothetical but I've always struggled with boys names Smile what do you all think?

I thought Louis and Louie were pronounced the same?

Yes they are. Louis is Loo ee as it’s French.

Lewis is the way to spell it if you want to pronounce the s.

I love the flow of it but it made me think of Huey, Louie and Dewey! Sorry.

Sounds too much

Oh no.

Far too many 'ooo's

It sounds like a joke name.

I do like it, but I will be honest and say I immediately thought of Huey Lewis. So depends how much that bothers you!
