Wonderful!
I don't like Dewi, but Dewey is better. I like Hugh but might prefer Hughes. I like Louis (especially if it's pronounced like -loo-is). If it's pronounced like Louie, then it is too close to Dewi for my liking. Hugh is not as close, which seems odd... shouldn't they all be close or none of them should be that close? I think naming kids after fictional characters is already entering rocky waters, but you're going down a waterfall if it's a bunch of diminutives - the names of fictional children or animals, no less.
I would do something like Hughes, Lucius and Stewart if I wanted to keep the long O theme going, though.

I love Hughes, Lucius, and Stewart. It's a joke
Thanks.And thank goodness. XD

It is cute on cartoon characters, but the Disney ducklings are too well known for the reference not to be obvious.
I recently read a book called "Poisoned Blood" the true story of a woman named Marie Hilley who poisoned her husband to death with arsenic, jumpd bail and took on two new identities before she was finally caught. Recommended!
Anyhow, her father had a twin brother. These men would have been born in the early 1900s, before Disney came along. Their names were Huey and Louie.
I agree with Anneza, I can only think of Huey, Dewey and Louie.
Much too Duckling for my taste: I'd be forever waiting for one or more of them to call out to their Unca Donald.
They all go pretty well together, even if the first syllables are a bit rhymey. I hope Louis is LOO-is rather than LOO-ee, because otherwise it’d rhyme with Dewi.
Louis as LOO-is would be my favourite.

I think them rhyming is the point ...Huey, Dewey and Louie are the names of Donald Duck's nephews.
Ah thanks for pointing that out, I completely missed that! In that case, I think it’s cute in a fictional context.
I prefer Dewi spelled Dewey. I like Hugh and Louis.
I like Louis. Hugh is fine, although I prefer Hugo. I don't particularly like Dewi. They go pretty well together.
reminds me of Dewey, Huey, and Louie from DuckTales, but I assume that was intentional 🙃 are these real people or characters?
Characters. :-)
I think it makes a nice homage then! :) It's recognizable but subtler than just using their names.
