Re: Stuart and Lewis
in reply to a message by Norah Namenerd
Ugh I hate Stuart. The sequence of sounds is just ugly to me. I get a vibe of either super nerdy or "slimy" - I just always picture a greasy unkempt kid with a perpetual sinus infection so that he sounds a bit like Droopy Dog.
Lewis (this spelling) on the other hand I really like. It seems very professional but not so grown up that it would sound odd on a young child.
I know both a Stuart and a Louis and neither goes by a nn. Louis, though, does often get his name mispronounced (even if on purpose) as the French "LOO-ee" (or "loo-EE"). That's why I tend to prefer the Lewis spelling
