I'm English, my husband's French. So far we have 2 girls, and a boy called Sebastien John. Expecting son no.2 mid-Dec, and need to find a name that works in both languages... I love Theo (can't do accents on this pc) but FIL vetoed it . We both like Louis, but BIL (aged 41, 50% chance of never settling down to have kids gggrrrrr) has reserved it. Also love Joshua, but have nephew calld that . I think it needs to have at least two syllables to go with big bro's name. Any ideas?? I like more unusual names, but DH is q conservative . Help please!

Sebastian.

So far in all the European countries we have taken DS to they say, "But he has a Dutch/French/Austrian/German* (delete as applicable) name" Everyone wants to claim it!

Pascal?

Arthur, which is pronounced Artuuure.

Baptiste is nice too.

Has reserved it?! I'd say first come first served. What about Alexander or Maxime - Max. Also Joseph, Raphael, Hugo. I would definitely go for Louis though!

What about Thomas?

(When I did my French exchange years ago a lot of the boys were called Kevin. Go figure...)
