Hi,

I'm due in just a few weeks and we don't know what we're having. We're settled on a girl's name but are still musing on a boys' names. All together our families are Scandinavian/Scottish/English/French, and our surname is French. We like the following:

Front runners:
Louis
Ralph (pron. Rafe before anyone asks).
Laurence

On our long list:
Lysander
Rollo
Magnus
Hector
Frederic

I have one favourite from these: the others don't quite click as being 'the one'. What do you think? Any other contenders?

Just realised you've put Rollo, not Rolio (not wearing my glasses Blush)

Rollo gets my vote, as long as you're using a short o not a long one

Love Louis.

@MrsJoshNavidi Rollo's not made up I'm afraid, and perfect if you have French and Scandi heritage: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rollo

And yes it would be a short 'o'. DH isn't a fan of Rollo though so I just kept it in to be cheeky really.

Loving all your comments so far - Louis (for me the French pronunciation is the only one) and Laurence have been our two faves, but DH isn't sure Laurence is the one. I still really like it. We're agreed it will be a middle name if we don't use it for the first name though.
