Louis is the top contender for this baby. What do you think? Any negatives, and how many do you know?

I have a Louis, nearly 9 - he loves his name! We only know one other Louis.

Great name

Good name, have only met one. Should definitely be pronounced Lew-ee rather than Lewis. (I'm guessing it will be though, as otherwise you probably would've went for Lewis!)

Lovely name. I have one but she's a girl!!! It used to be a more conventional girl's name and she was named after her great aunt but as we had decided on the name during pregnancy if she had been a boy we would have kept the same name.

Lovely, but prefer the spelling Louie.

BunnyLebowski · 27/04/2009 12:52

Lovely as long as it's pronounced correctly.

Love Louis. Hate Lewis.

Marla - I did the same and stupidly gave my cat the name dd would probably have had otherwise. Wished I'd called her Fluffy now!

I like it, only if pronounced Louie.

ladygrosgrain · 27/04/2009 13:45

Yes we're going to pronounce Lou ee. Although I do have a work colleague who pronounces her Louis the same as Lewis, confusing.

I love it. There are loads and loads around here but that wouldn't put me off.

pagwatch · 27/04/2009 14:00

I have a Louis ( HAS to be pronounced lou-ee but not spelt Louie )
he is the only one we know. He is 15. We still love it and so does he...
Gorgeous name

Lovely name. Timeless.

chisigirl · 27/04/2009 14:34

Great name

I love it pronounced 'Loo-ee'. Really dislike 'Loo-is', though.

jellybeans · 27/04/2009 14:53

I never know whether it's Lou-ee or Loo-is
