Louie Lennie

So far we only have one boys name that we both love, Louie. But I'm not sure on it when paired with our preferred middle name, Lennie (family connection)? Please can you share your honest thoughts, struggling with a decision. Thank you!

Could you add another middle name in between? It could be anything. Louie Samuel Lennie. Louie Max Lennie.

Have it if you want it but they’re both nick names and very similar. Like Micky Mack or Henry Harry.

Louie is fine although prefer spelling Louis.
Middle names are entirely irrelevant. Nice to honour family but otherwise what does it matter?
I assume you’re not going to refer to him as Louie-Lennie!

Definitely not. I love them both separately but not together.
