Hello,

This is our last call on DS4’s name. We added a thread last week about naming DS4, we’re sorry for asking again, but we’re running out of time. (We still can’t agree on the name, plus I also can’t make a decision indeed.)

Here is our shortlist,
Andrew, Ernest, Louis, Alfred
(His middle names will be Augustus Thomas.)
I may rule out Alfred because I’m afraid we can’t have Eddie and Freddie, can I? Or this name can go??

According to our shortlist, which one is nicer, and go with other DS’s names? Our DSs1-3 are Henry Albert (We call him Albert nn Bertie because he was named after his father.), Arthur and Edward.

Please feel free to judge my shortlist, and share your thoughts and opinions, we’re very open to any suggestions. Thank you so much in advance! We’ll appreciate your help.

I love Louis

MadameJosephine · 11/11/2018 19:57

Looks like I’m in the minority but I love Ernest

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 11/11/2018 19:54

100% Louis !

GMtoBe · 11/11/2018 19:33

Definitely Louis

MerryInthechelseahotel · 11/11/2018 19:30

Louis without a doubt

Louis

Louis or Alfred nn Alfie

I think Louis is fine, it’s not like you have a George already, in which case I’d say don’t use it!

Andrew I find a bit dated. Ernest is quite cute but a little dated still - I think this might become more popular though

BikeRunSki · 10/11/2018 23:56

Louis, although as you say it might be quite popular this year. I’d say that modern society is s lot less influence by the royals than it once was though.

Shadow1234 · 10/11/2018 23:52

Definitely Louis.

Sophronia · 10/11/2018 23:04

Andrew. Louis is wet.

ladybirdsaredotty · 10/11/2018 22:12

Louis is perfect. I may be biased WinkSmile

E20mom · 10/11/2018 21:41

I like Alfred but Louis goes really well with the other sibling names. Plus it will be too many As. It gets annoying with post.

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 10/11/2018 21:38

Louis for sure.

mothertobe789 · 10/11/2018 19:42

Louis!

BendydickCuminsnatch · 10/11/2018 19:23

I’d say you can’t have Albert, Arthur AND Alfred! So for me Alfred is out. I like Louis best from your list!

silverliningsa · 10/11/2018 19:12

Louis by far! Doubt anyone will think you've copied the royals.

Icklepup · 10/11/2018 18:24

Ernest!!!

MyCatIsAFiend · 10/11/2018 17:55

Louis Augustus Thomas flows really well! Definitely the best choice.

Lulubelle15 · 10/11/2018 17:36

I love the name Louis.

TatianaLarina · 10/11/2018 17:11

As long as it’s Loo ee not Lewis.

TatianaLarina · 10/11/2018 17:10

No-one I know cares about royal babies, indeed I’d forgotten.

So I’d go for Louis.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 10/11/2018 17:00

Two out of three of my ds have Royal names. It matters not one bit. Chose Louis!

LarkDescending · 10/11/2018 16:40

Louis Smile

CarolinenotCarolyn · 10/11/2018 16:32

I’m worried about the royal copycat thing if we choose the name Louis too.

Anyway thank you everyone for your kind help! Flowers

Alfred - Alfie. Definitely the best.

You can’t use Louis unless you want to look like a total royal copycat.
