DS1 aged 5 is called Louis, DS2 due next week. We had decided on the name George until Prince Louis came along (thought it would be too Royal to have a Louis and George in same house)
Shall I stick with George regardless? What are your thoughts x

Unfortunately, I think the royal connection is too strong. It’s not a bad connection, but it’s a connection that will be made for sure.

I would if you really like. People may comment they may not. Then again some may not even get on to it. However the comments would only ever be something along the lines of "Ooh that's very Royal"
or "Awwww like the little Princes" or "If your next one's a girl; you've got to call her Charlotte.Grin
It wouldn't be anything malicious.

If you can cope with the Royalty comments for the rest of their days then go for it. The names are nice and go well together. If not then make George a middle name.

The alternative would be Alexander or Miles

Alexander George is nice.

Louis goes well with either name. They all have the same feel tbh so I’d pick one of the other two.

Sophronia · 11/09/2018 11:18

I like Miles

emmareed1 · 11/09/2018 11:58

We are swaying towards Alexander but the nickname will probably be Xander.

Do you think Louis and Xander sound ok together ? X

I think Alexander is much better - it will just sound like you copied the royals.

Icklepup · 11/09/2018 12:38

Alexander

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 11/09/2018 14:25

I'd do it.

starkid · 11/09/2018 14:56

Alexander/Xander George is nice :)

Tryagaintomorrow · 13/09/2018 20:28

Love xander

MynameisJune · 13/09/2018 20:45

Isn’t Prince George’s full name George Alexander Louis?

floriann · 13/09/2018 20:46

@MynameisJune yes I thought this! x

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 13/09/2018 20:46

Louis and Xander is lovely

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 13/09/2018 20:47

No one will know what Prince George’s middle name is.,

D2018 · 13/09/2018 20:50

Sorry but I agree with pp. Louis and George is far too well known as totals. Alexander is lovely and goes well with Louis x

emmareed1 · 13/09/2018 21:30

My Louis was born before Prince George so it doesn't bother be about Prince George's middle names Smile

I love Louis, and I would definitely call your new baby George, it's a good strong name. I much prefer it to your other choices.
