Louis pronounced Loo-ee or Lewis? If the former, then I prefer it to Zach, if the latter then I prefer Zach.

Louis has the pronunciation issues. Is it louie or Lewis? Lewis isn’t too bad, Louie is dreadful, cute for a toddler but not a teen/grown man. Zach is fine

Louis but pronounced Louie not Lewis which is terrible. My eldest son is Louis and luckily we now live in a French speaking country so his name is perfect!

Zach short for Zachary.

Louis is often pronounced Lou-is

Zachary is ok but I don't like Zach as a nickname - it sounds unfinished

Zach can sound like Sack

One hundred percent Louis.

Louis, but only if it's pronounced correctly.

Zach is nice, but should be short for Zachary.

Zach, but ideally short for Zachary or Zachariah

Louis is a bit wet

I read Zach as Zatch.
If the choice was Zac (short for Zachary) or Louis, I'd choose Zac, but it isn't, so I'd say Louis.
Both names a bit too current for me, and both with more than one spelling.
I don't like Louie.

I think Louis is cute and very French (nothing wrong with the French part but I do think it suits children better than adults). If you want it pronounced Lewis I'd spell it that way ( you didn't say you did, just some people pronounce it differently).

I like Zachary shortened to Zach/Zac.
