Is the name Louie definitely a male name?

I know the name Louis could be unisex but only Louie? I keep searching but not 100% clear. I just try to find a name which couldn't be unisex, such as Taylor / Ashley ect. I read it's a french name but I kinda like it.

Louie is classed (by some) as a unisex name. But I would NEVER call a girl LOUIE.

That's as bad as calling a boy Tracey or Shirley (even though those 2 names are unisex too.)

Never heard of any girls called Louie. So I wouldn’t say it’s unisex at all. It’s a male name in my opinion.

Someone i follow on insta has a little girl Louie, it suits her.

Louis is a male name. You're thinking of Louise or Lois I think. Those are female.

However, nowadays anything can be unisex so it hardly matters what they traditionally were.

Louie has been unisex for a long time now, but if it's a girl Louie or Lou, it's usually because it's a shorter version/nickname.

Louis and Louie are boys names

Louie could be a nickname for Louise or Louisa...

Although after googling, turns out Louis is sometimes used for girls in the US. I never knew that!
I know quite a few women named Louie but never met a female Louis.

I know of a girl nicknamed Louie but her full name is Louisa.

I'd definitely assume Louie is a boys name. And I really like it

@Createausername6

How about calling her Louise, and calling her Louie as a pen-name? (If you want Louie for a girl...

I have a female relative called Louie. She's is her 60s. Not a common name, even where she's from, but not a shortened version or nickname either.

You're thinking if Lois I think! Louie (or Louis) definitely a boy's name.

My grandmother was called Louie. She was born in the 1890's. I think it's lovely.

Louis is the French spelling BTW but pronounced the same as Louie

My lovely gran was Louisa. Always known as Louie

Louie was my late grandmother's middle name, she was born in 1906

Yeah, in France the S wouldn't be pronounced but Louis is also a separate name from Louie, and you pronounce the S.

Thanks everyone! Sorry if i forgot to put i actually looking for the boy name, as we expect a wee boy 😊 just some sites even had the Louie version described as a female name, but others said it is only a male name. Nowdays so many names unisex even i would think that's only a boy or girl name 😶 but in this case im just afraid maybe 5-10 years later turning out this name could be given to girls more than boys if it is unisex? 😔 or things like this not really happening and im just paranoid? 😁

Taylor and Ashley are unisex though...

@Wanderlust20

For example, Louis Litt in Suits.

I’m not following what your concerns are

In the nicest possible way, you're being a bit silly.

More and more names are becoming unisex. They aren't moving from boy name to then being solely a girl name.

Name your kid whatever name you like. It doesnt matter a single bit if the name is unisex or not. People are not going to start saying, "oh, that's a girls name now".

I knew of an old lady whose name was Louie, but short for Louisa.

Okay thanks. 🤗
