Please don't tell me if you don't like Louis, it's my son's name!
Struggling to find another boy's name as good. Suggestions please! Thanks

Hi know a Louis and Harry, a Louis and Ben and Louis and Ethan. They go well together I think.

I love Louis Op, but as its not a traditional UK name I don't think you need a match.

George

Anything goes.

I know boys called Louis with brothers named:

Clement (Clem)
Sacha
Finn
Gabriel
Caleb

IvoryMadonna · 12/04/2015 21:06

I don't think OP wants a name that matches, ie "goes with" Louis. I think she is looking for a name that is as good as Louis, ie one that she likes as much.

LaurieMarlow · 14/04/2015 12:57

I also have a Louis Smile and the only name that I think is on a par is Alexander, so saving that for DS2 should he materialise.

Snap Clara.

I love this name. Massively popular in France (digress, thinking of another thread).

Siblings I know of in UK with brother Louis

Alfie, Jack

In France

Noah, Theo, Adam

*I'll get my coat...

ImperialBlether · 14/04/2015 20:07

I know what you mean. Louis is a great name and it's hard to think of another name as good.

ch1134 · 14/04/2015 21:05

Yep, I'm stuck! We have strong links with France so another French name would be great. I love Fabien but it doesn't go well with our surname. So far my best 'almost as good as Louis' name is Ray...
Thanks for the suggestions, will definitely look over them again and give them some thought.

Luc
Bruno
Jean-Baptiste
Jean-Paul
Jules / Julien
Remì

A lot of french names are hyphenated so take a couple of names and put them together to make them more unique like Jean Luc.
