Baby Names

WDYT of Louis

Coming up with a third boy name has been difficult.  We "like" a lot of names, but none is the obvious frontrunner.  I think we both like Louis though.  We already have a Max and Simon.  Thanks!

Re: WDYT of Louis

  • I like it, but spelled Lewis. I want to pronounce Louis as Loo-ee, but I'm guessing you'd want it pronounced Loo-is.

  • I like it! I think it's underused and that it flows nicely with your other DS' names.

    That was my grandpa's name and it was spelled exactly like that.
  • I love it!  Funny too because I love both Max and Louis for our future children.  Still trying to convince my husband though...
  • That's my dad's name (spelling and all)! The name seems to have served him well. He was "Louie" as a kid, "Louis" to his parents, and "Lou" at his job and in professional settings. He seems to like it! :)

  • My good friend has a son Louis, but it's spelled that way to honor our hometown (st. louis) and she doesn't live here.Lewis is cute too.

    I think it's adorable, Louie is such a cute NN!

  • Love! And I definitely prefer the Louis spelling to Lewis. Lewis is a last name to me.

  • My dad is named Lewis. He has said that he doesn't like his name.

    I do have a teenaged student named Louis. It suits him well and he seems to like his name. His name is said just like my dad's (not Lou-ie).

  • Thanks for your feedback ladies!  I do tend to think of Louis and Lewis as two different names, and I only would consider Louis, for whatever reason I don't know.  I appreciate it!

    I think it's a good solid name and goes with Max and Simon.

    This exactly. Also, I think that name sounds great with your other boys' names! 

  • I like it a lot. It would have been on my short list for a boy, but DH and I didn't agree on the pronunciation. He says it Lewis but I say it Louie.
