Decided on the name Louie for our little boy due in a few weeks.
Any suggestions for a middle name?
Not john or James
Thanks

Yes, well said op.

Louie is a lovely name and shouldn't get mispronounced!

Louie George is nice

Pigeonorcoot · 03/07/2021 11:26

Well said OP.

I'd go for Benjamin or George personally.

If my thread was asking peoples opinions on how to spell his name I would appreciate your comments but as I stated we have decided to call him 'Louie' and all I wanted was some middle name suggestions, they are not appreciated 🙂

Thanks!

No, that’s not a fact. It’s ignorant bullshit

Arguably what is ignorant is not being aware that Louis is a famous French name of many kings of France pronounced Louee and has traditionally been pronounced correctly in this country.

Thus Louis Theroux, Louis Tomlinson, Prince Louis, Louis Mountbatten, Louis Vuitton are all pronounced Louee.

It’s the same principle as using phonetic spellings of Irish names. On which there’s a discussion on another thread.

You can shoot the messenger if you like, but I am simply explaining the background.

Louis Francis

Just stating a fact. Take it or leave it.

I seem to think longer names fit?

Pigeonorcoot · 03/07/2021 02:05

Ignore the snobs OP.

Louie George sounds good imo.

Oh yes 🙌🏻

I know a Louis Rey (king, pronounced Ray) and I like it.

@KirstenBlest

Spell it Louis. You could always use Louie as a nn, but Louis is by far the better spelling.
Why?

I know 3 boys called Louis aged between 2-12 all pronounced Lewis. My other sons name ends in 'ie' we will be spelling it Louie 🙂

I love George which is an uncles name but wasn't sure if Louie George sounded right?
Love the suggestion Louie Francis which is actually my fathers middle name, partner isn't so keen.
Louie Benjamin is cute too!

Not my style, but Cecil or Frances are similar in feel.

Another one to say spell it Louis. I have a Louis who is 18 and it's only been mispronounced a couple of times and then it's been Louise!
