Ludo?

[MeantToStopAtTwo]

Tell me, would I be crazy?

and the star horse, great book by Mary Stewart

Game / Labyrinth for me.

I think that Ludo on it's own would be a bit cruel TBH, and I think you might need to live in the right area/go to the right school or be European to carry of Ludovic/Ludwig.

I like it, but think immediately of the great big beast in Labyrinth.

Use as a middle name? Have to imagine whether you'd feel OK calling out: 'Ludo, supper's ready' or 'Ludo, come here' in the shops. I heard a mother whine 'Ophelia, get away from the cabbages' in Tesco yesterday and it was terrible. Mind you, I have a problem with Ophelia because of mad-dead-girl-Hamlet.
Sorry off topic. Must admit Ludo's cute tho. And fun. Middle name it.

Saw this a thought if this thread!

As in the game? No, no, and no! x

I know a little Ludovic, sometimes called Luco. I like it very much.

Luco is fab. That is a great idea.

It would be okay if the game Ludo was not the single most boring game in the world.

Ludo is only called Ludo in English. In German Ludo is a boys name and the game is called 'Mensch ärger dich nicht' . Not sure about other countries.

I also thought of the Labyrinth beastie.

I bet it's still as boring though motm

Yeah, the game is very boring .

Wow I like it - but not keen on full form Ludovic unless you are Germanic?

What about Louis Donald with a nick name of Ludo.

Or Lucian Donald.

Love Ludovic and Lucian. Ludo is a nice nickname imo. I think people will loose the game association once they meet a real life Ludo. And who still plays Ludo these days anyway (with all the computer games etc.).

Extraordinarily posh - if you're happy with that then go ahead.

Ludo is a lovely name, and not weird-unusual. I know 2 Ludos (both nn for Ludovic). One is a friend of my dad, and the other is the son of a friend. They are both of general british extraction, so it's not that they've been named by a foreign parent iyswim.

The friend of my dad has his own business and says his name has done him good because no-one forgets it.

I also came across a lot of Ludovics in Paris, so I get the impression it's more commonly used in France than here.

"Extraordinarily posh"

Posh? I really struggle what criteria people use to define 'poshness'... How can a name be posh anyway - a person maybe but a name?

I really like Ludo, esp short for Ludovic.

hellokitty, could getting about by helicopter be considered posh?
I know a Ludo who has occasionally got around by helicopter.

I thought of the big beast from Labyrinth as well. Nice enough name although I think there are a lot of similar names around atm.

Really hellokitty? So do you think names never have any class connotations?

I love it but as a nn for Ludovic, which I also love.

No. Ludo Bagman is in Harry Potter, so will be nicknamed Bagman
