Hi, we are struggling to decide on a boy's name. The front-runner at the moment is Louis, but there are issues with it being pronounced wrongly. It should sound like the French, ie Loo-ee. I know I oculd spell it Louie, but that just reminds me of Louie Spence and he annoys me!

I just read the name Milo on here, really like it but have yet to run it past DH! I would love any suggestions of names ending in a vowel sound, it just would go better with our surname which starts with an H.

Any help appreciated!

I do love Hugo but DH says it's a bit too 'made in chelsea'! Danny I also like but DH vetoed it. This would be a lot easier if I didn't have to agree it with anyone else! Grin

Would names ending in -y, -er, -ew or -ah sound OK too?
