Brother names.... would you?

Just following on from my previous thread of finding a baby brother name for DS1 George. I like one of the suggestions of Louis. But do you think it would be strange to have a George and Louis same as the royal princes? I ruled it out previously because of this connection but do really like the name.
Thanks :-)

I would avoid it unless you're happy for everyone to point out the Royal connection every time you talk about your sons

I know someone with a George and a Charlotte, both of which are older than the prince and princess. They get a few comments but ignore them. I think it depends, if the comments will bother you then don’t but if not go for it!

My friend has a George and a Louis who are both older teenagers. It's only just occurred to me that they share those names with the princes!

I don't think it matters at all

You might get the odd comments every now and again. So what?

I knew a Harry and William (younger than the princes), it hadn’t occurred to the parents. Aside from the odd comment, they are such normal names that it didn’t matter.

Most people won't even notice. It didn't click with me until you pointed it out 🤷‍♀️

I don't think it matters, if it's your favourite name then go for it

I know a William and Harry.
