yes, Robert Louis Stevenson did pronounce his middle name like Lewis with an S, not like Louis without an S.

I'd never heard his name pronounced any way other than with an S! That's interesting.

'due, it is said, to a strong distaste, shared by his father, for a fellow-citizen, who bore the name in the form in which Lewis had received it.'

(That's hilarious.)
