Prefer Jacob.
Louie is most natural to me.

Louis, but I much prefer Jacob.

QuickRedFox · 12/06/2019 14:40

Louis.
I think people could be a bit prejudiced against a Louie.

Going against the grain with Louie, probably because I know a lovely one! Also although Louis is traditional people still get it confused with Lewis. With Louie it gets rid of the confusion! Prefer Louie to Jacob personally.
