Lewis - honest opinions

We are having the hardest time with boy names for our first baby! The only name we can agree on is [name_m]Lewis[/name_m]. It has really been growing on me. I really love nickname [name_m]Lew[/name_m] too. What do you guys think?

[name_u]Love[/name_u] it! Great, under used classic! I say go for it!

In my opinion, [name_m]Lewis[/name_m] is dashing and very underused. I’d imagine [name_m]Lewis[/name_m] to be handsome, long-haired and interested in arts. I think it’s a lovely name that should be used more.

I adore [name_m]Lewis[/name_m]! Very handsome and underused.

Thanks! I am glad to hear everyone so far likes it. :slight_smile:

[name_m]Lewis[/name_m] is one of my favourite names - so classic and handsome. I do think it looks slightly more clunky than [name_m]Louis[/name_m] but I avoid that spelling because of the alternate pronunciation. I’ve struggled to come up with nicknames I like for [name_m]Lewis[/name_m] because I’m not a big fan of [name_m]Lew[/name_m] or [name_u]Les[/name_u]. However, those are completely usable options.

I love it! It’s a family name for my hubby and I tried to convince him to use it for this baby on the way but he vetoed me so I’m a little jealous that you get to use it! Lol I adore the nickname [name_u]Lou[/name_u]!!!

Go for it, love it, underused and it shouldn’t be!

I recently added this name to my list and I have to agree with everyone.

All I think of is Meriwether [name_m]Lewis[/name_m], but that isn’t entirely bad. It’s a fine name.

I really like it! Both my dad and older brother are named [name_m]Louis[/name_m] ([name_u]Lou[/name_u]-is) and I’ve been really shocked and confused that it is apparently pronounced as “[name_u]Lou[/name_u]-ee” by a lot of people. I love that [name_m]Lewis[/name_m] eliminates that confusion, at least in my book. It’s a really good, solid name. [name_m]Lew[/name_m] is an adorable nickname.

I love [name_m]Lewis[/name_m] with nn [name_m]Lew[/name_m]. I recently heard someone name their baby boy [name_m]Lucien[/name_m] and nn him [name_f]Lu[/name_f]. I thought it was adorable. Congrats on your upcoming baby boy!

YES! I love that name. It reminds me of honest loyal hansom guys! I say name it!

[name_m]Count[/name_m] me among the people who think it is a great choice.

I’m going to agree with everyone else and say it’s a wonderful name (I actually kind of prefer [name_m]Lewis[/name_m] to [name_m]Louis[/name_m]) and you should go for it!

I too really like [name_m]Lewis[/name_m], both as a first and middle. I also prefer it to [name_m]Louis[/name_m]. Go for it.

I love [name_m]Lewis[/name_m], and vastly prefer this spelling to [name_m]Louis[/name_m].

I really like the name, but prefer [name_m]Louis[/name_m]. Also I much prefer the pronunciation Loo-ee, but there you go.

It is my dad’s name. Uncommon and a great name. [name_m]Just[/name_m] be aware that many people will misspell it as [name_m]Louis[/name_m].

I think that [name_m]Lewis[/name_m] is timeless, sophisticated and classic name.
