I love both names. But seeing as your son is [name_u]Francis[/name_u] ([name_m]Frank[/name_m]) I’d go with [name_m]Oscar[/name_m], just to avoid the rhyming names ([name_u]Francis[/name_u] and [name_m]Lewis[/name_m].)

Jeez, this is a hard one as I love both names! My heart does lean more on the [name_m]Lewis[/name_m] side, as it’s definitely an underused classic. I also love it because it reminds me of [name_m]Lewis[/name_m] [name_u]Carrol[/name_u], author of “[name_f]Alice[/name_f] in Wonderland”. I also pronounce [name_m]Louis[/name_m] the [name_m]French[/name_m] way.

[name_m]Oscar[/name_m] is also a great name, but to me feels trendy at the moment. [name_m]Oz[/name_m] is an adorable nickname… but nothing like [name_m]Lewis[/name_m].

Thanks for the input. I love the nickname [name_u]Lou[/name_u] but prefer [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] for a long name. Decisions, decisions!
