原My son is named Louis. In Australia, most people read it as "Lew-IS" since there is virtually no French heritage or knowledge of how to pronounce it the popular European way of "Loo-EE". So we have taken to the notion of letting the formal pronunciation be "Lew-IS", and his nickname be pronounced "Loo-EE". This way, everyone is right. Problem solved.

原I have a lot of family named Louis. If I call them Lewis it's a joke. Louis is Loo-ee or else it would be Lewis.

原I like this name a lot, it's like a breathe of fresh air compared to other, popular names. I like it pronounced both ways, though if I named my kid this, I'd pronounce it with the "s" sound, and use Lou-ee as a nickname. I'm not as fond of the spelling Lewis.

原I'm surprised no one's mentioned Louis Tomlinson from One Direction! He pronounces it "Lou-ee".

原This name has always been pronounced as Lou-is where I'm fromLou-E would be spelled as Louie .So I'm rather annoyed when people get on their high horse, claiming that Lou-E is how you say it or is the "proper" spelling. Learn that some names have multiple pronunciations. In the states, Lewis & Louis are said the same exact way.

原I hate this name. It doesn't sound very appealing. Louis sounds as dark as a devil.

原Louis is a very traditional French name that was quite popular in the first half of the 20th century, had a small decline from the '60's to the '80's, and has received quite a comeback in recent years. It's one of my favorite names, pronounced either the French way or the English way :)

原If the name Louis is related to the name Lewis, it is also related to Lugas (French), Lugh (Irish) and Llew (Welsh). There is no greater hero warrior in pre-Roman times than Lugh. Lugh means 'The Shining One'. He is the new sun of the year born at the equinox in mid winter. He grows in strength until he can destroy Balor 'The Shadowy One' or the winter sun. He later marries the Earth each year and becomes King of Tara, "Lugh of the Long Arm' the King of the Fairies ie., the summer sun. Analogous to Apollo/Zeus, Odin/Woden...

原I love this name, despite its commonness! In the USA how should I pronounce it? If you want to pronounce it LOO-ee, then you can spell it Louie, which is a little easier in the US.

原I think this is a pretty nice name. The pronunciation LOO-ee seems more goofy and laid back to me, while Louis both funny and casual. I also find Louis to be a very sophisticated and formal name. I suppose the funny and casual bit I got from Even Stevens. It's a cool name.

I would probably not use it though due to its similarity to Louise and Loser, which is such a shame as I love this name but kids today can be rather cruel and I would hate that to happen to my child as I was bullied about my name when I was at school. I think it would be a bit silly of me to give a child a name which I had doubts about and may possibly bring them the same unhappiness as myself, however my name is way more extreme!
