Thomas or Louis?

[user1481374748]

I can’t decide between the name Thomas or Louis (pronounced Louie) for DS2
I prefer Louis but i feel torn on which to choose! I have a couple of people I know who’s sons are called Louis. Also DS1 is called George and I’m worried about the royal siblings connection and will people think it’s weird?! I only like traditional names if anyone has any other suggestions?

Another vote for Thomas.
George and Tom - lovely.
George and Louis - oh do you love the royals?
Also Louis will get pronounced Lewis.

Yes people would just hear the Kate connection with sons named George and Louis, you'll be explaining forever more that you actually like the names and you're not copying! Thomas is a better bet and Louis as a middle name?

Thomas

I love the name Thomas, very biased though as it's my Ds name, his middle name is also your first child's name. It ages well, he's a teen now and prefers Tom.

If you prefer Louis, call him Louis.

I like Thomas but I'm biased as that's my eldest son middle name and my fathers name

George and Thomas work really well together - both very classic names that have never left the top 100. While Louis is a kind of traditional name here too, it's one much more subject to the whims of fashion. Plus the Louis/Louie/Lewis thing will be more of a hassle in most places in the UK I think, where as a Thomas or George still have an obvious prominent spelling and pronunciation (so less likely to be an issue - although in Wales, you may sometimes get Tomos).

If it helps, I'd guess a George's brother would be named something like Charles, Edward, Thomas, Michael, David, William, James, Henry, Joseph, John, Robert etc - very classic/traditional, shortish and nearly always popular/well used in the UK historically.

I prefer Louis but would go for Thomas with George.

I love Louis, but I'm biased as I have a 13 month old baby boy called Louis 🥰

I have a bit of a soft spot for Thomas after going through High School with an absolutely lovely friend.

How about Matthew? Or James? Arthur?

I love the name Daniel!
