ok, first post on mums net, go easy on me
what do you think of the name Ludo for a boy
I love it - makes me think of earthy outdoor scenes, crackling fires and a lovely polite child who eats brocolli and loves his mummy
DH just laughs everytime i mention it
Is it gorgeous and unique, or just godawful?

Sorry but Ludo makes me think of the big hairy monster from the Labyrinth.

I just googled it (because I thought it was a made up name) and the meaning is 'famous fighter'. Doesn't really fit with your interpretation of the name.

Wasn't Ludo the name of the dog on Labyrinth?

If you love it then do it. I love my daughters name (it just got many criticisms on here) but none bothered me because I adore it and I think she will too. The way I thought is would I like it if it was my name and the answer was hellll yesssssssss! Grin Harder with a boy I know! Does DH hate it?

I also think of the board game. I don't like it for a human, personally.

I once had a hot French boyfriend called Ludo(vic). Happy memories...
