I don't want Louis, btw :)

Realise this is probably not what you want to hear but as an 'official name' (what appears on the birth cert.) I'd go Alfred Dylan, but use Alfie as an everyday name.
Louie is a name in it's own right.
I'm just not a fan of shortened names as 'official' names as I know several people given "cute" names which were fine when under 5, but now they're late teens/early 20's hate their names.

I prefer Alfie but I really dislike Dylan. Knew a few when I worked in a school so it may be just my associations of the name, rather than the name itself. I think Louis Ethan sort of runs into each other, if that makes sense (in my accent anyway). Hope that helps in some way.x
