Thibault

[Diggersandloaders]

I am part French but live in the UK, as will our child. Does this name work in English (pronounced tee bow)? I guess a nn would probably be Thib or Bo or something, though we would let that naturally evolve.

The main alternative currently is Felix, though I have a real soft spot for Ludovic.

Please help!!

It's a lovely name. Oops, I've been pronouncing it wrong all along!

The English will mess it up and your child will have an aggravating existence.
Go for Felix.
Sorry English people, but I am right.

I disagree - most of the time we are told someone's name when we first meet them so people will hear how to say the name although they may not know how to spell it. Hyperbole to say the child will have an aggravating existence!

Oh and Felix sounds like a pet dog or cat.

'Aggravating existence'🙄

The world is full of names we don't know how to pronounce yet. Please don't let small mindedness stop you choosing a name you love.

We'd all still be called Anne and John if we all thought like that.

Please don't let this narrow minded view put you off an interesting and beautiful name.

Thibault is so easy to pronounce (Tee bo) and you really only need to be told once!

The world is indeed full of beautiful names - let's be a bit more open minded.

People do not remember.
Pick something relatively straightforward, please.

Nooooo
