I don’t like it. It’s not the worst name where surname-y first names are concerned but it is very popular where I live in the UK and the majority of the ones I have met have been horrible obnoxious brats.
Lewis is a minor character in modern episodes of Battle for Dream Island Again, which is the second season of the YouTube web cartoon Battle for Dream Island. His appearance is based on that of the character David, but with an upside down head.
Really love this name. Those comparing Louis should know they are very different names- Louis pronounced Lou-ie. This to me just sounds too twee for a boy. While Lewis sounds strong and unique to me, I love it.

I think that the name Lewis is very attractive and strong sounding. Makes a great family name too.

Lewis is also the name of a Scottish isle in the Outer Hebrides (which might explain its popularity in Scotland). The Isle of Lewis is part of Lewis and Harris (one of the largest populated islands) and is quite apart from Scotland as it retains a lot of traditional Scottish culture and history in its everyday. (The Lewis chessmen were discovered on this island.)The name of Lewis as an island is thought to be Norse or Gaelic, probably meaning "marsh".
This name has grown on me so much, and I have to say that this is my most favorite name ever. I love it a lot! It sounds like a name for a very handsome man! :)
Lewis Powell (1844-1865) attempted to assassinate Secretary of State to Abraham Lincoln, William H. Seward. He was an associate of John Wilkes Booth. On the same night of President Lincoln's assassination, Lewis infiltrated Seward's house and stabbed him in the face several times. Seward was wearing a jaw splint from a carriage accident, so he did not die. Powell also severely injured two of Seward's sons, a soldier guarding Seward, and a messenger. He was executed on July 7, 1865 with three others for their conspiracy.
Lewis is the main character in my current favorite movie, "Meet the Robinsons." His design is based on the nameless character in William Joyce's book, "A Day with Wilbur Robinson," who tells the story of the Robinson family in first-person through the eyes of Wilbur's best friend. Disney came up with the name Lewis when they converted the book to a movie.
I love this name. I prefer this spelling of Lewis to Louis. But I quite like both. I prefer Lewis as a middle name because I think that it makes many names in a name combo flow well.
Grossly popular in England, Wales, Scotland and even Ireland! Not too popular in US though. Which I was shocked to see.

Lewis is a very beautiful name and I think it also sounds royal. It is a name I would give my son. It is also the name of Laura Ingalls Wilder's great-grandfather and is also the middle name of several of her relatives.

One of my least favorite names ever. The "Loo" sound at the beginning is just so gross-sounding.
