I kind of like the look of Louis better, BUT would prob pronounce Lou ee. Lewis is much more clear and it is also nice. xo
I dislike the Lewis way of spelling!
Louis looks much better!
I pronounce both the same way
I would pronounce them both Lu-wis even though the spelling of Louis is traditionally pronounced Lou-ee.
I know people with both spellings and both are pronounced Lu-wis.
I prefer the spelling of Lewis.
I would pronounce Louis as loo-ee, and Lewis as lewis! I prefer the sound of lewis and the spelling of Louis!
Me too!!:
My dilemma exactly!!!:
i might be wierd here but i would say lou-ees :-) i like lewis better, less confusion.
Just realised my friend has a Louis and it's pronounced Lewis. She seems to have no troubles. I would go for it! People will get used to it xo
:dance: Much prefer the look of LOUIS :dance:
Lewis always reminds me of the very old comedian Jerry Lewis (i think he is still about ?? :rolleyes:)
Louis- as most seem to know is traditionally pronounced Looee (it's French... many French kings named Louis) but I really like the name Louis as in Loo ee... I know that in Aust many people also pornounce Louis like Lewis.
I agree that Louis looks better than Lewis.
If you like the look of Louis, but the sound of Lewis, how about Luis?
Double post
:
My thoughts exactally. Louis makes me think of sesamie street ;)
When I first saw Louis in your post I immediately thought it would sound like Louis.
I like the spelling of Lewis more... I think "Lewis" looks a little more "modern" if you will rather than Louis.
FWIW... everyone will have an opinion on bubs name regardless!! So go with your faves ;)
I see Louis pronounced as Lou-ee.
How about Luiz?
Me too... dilemma! I would also pronounce Louis - Loo-ee, but Lewis as Lewis...:
Maybe you could spell it Luis?
The meaning is Famous Warrior
The origin is Spanish
Notes: a form of Louis
Luis - Origin and Meaning of the name Luis at BabyNames.com
That way people will pronounce it as it's written, because it looks a little different to the "original" ways of spelling it?
I would pronounce Luis as lew-eece not Lewis.
I prefer the Louis spelling as well, people will get used to the pronunciation, lots of people pronounce names differently than whats traditional.
