2 week old gorgeous baby boy with no name yet!

We've narrowed it down to Louis, Franky and Max. Franky would be Francis on birth certificate.

Which do you prefer?

I like both. I’ve never seen Franky with a y, it’s usually ie for either a boy or a girl. My friend’s son is Francesco but has always been Frankie to family and - since teens - Frank to friends and contemporaries.

I like Louis but only pronounced the French way. Not pronounced Lewis. I have a name that can be said two (3 if you count north versus south accents) ways, it can be a pain to say and spell. If you have Louis pronounced Lewis the spelling can be an issue.

Louis would be pronounced the french way - loo ee !

Francis nn Frankie is definitely my choice. Lovely.

AHFaemale · 17/05/2024 13:35

I love the name Frankie

Theoldwoman · 17/05/2024 13:36

Louis or Francis!

Comedycook · 17/05/2024 13:38

Louis definitely

I think Frankie doesn't work as a nickname for Francis as they have such a different vibe to each other.

Toomuchgoingon79 · 17/05/2024 13:39

Max but I'd have Maximilian on the birth certificate

Whisperingsummerishere · 17/05/2024 13:40

Maximus.. Nn Max..

WaltzingWaters · 17/05/2024 13:42

I love them all! Frankie would probably be my choice.

Moreteaandchocolate · 17/05/2024 13:44

I love them all! Max or Louis would be my choice.

Nicebloomers · 17/05/2024 15:34

Francis

RosaRoja · 17/05/2024 15:37

Louis
Max
Frankir

cherryassam · 17/05/2024 16:47

My order:

Max (if you want a longer name - Maxwell, Maxim, Maximilian, Maxence)
Louis
Francis / Franky

NetMum2 · 17/05/2024 18:37

Max

Katharine368 · 17/05/2024 19:50

I would pick Frankie but spelt ‘ie’ and personally just go Frank on the birth certificate

RogueFemale · 17/05/2024 19:53

Francis best by far (and then he can be Francis instead of Frankie if he hates Frankie).

Fontainebleau007 · 17/05/2024 19:54

Max or Frankie with an ie (to me personally Franky looks odd sorry!)

lenalemonade · 17/05/2024 19:54

Congratulations .
I love Louis ❤️but I am a wee bit biased as my lovely second born is Louis .
Having said that I have a brother and an uncle called Frankie and Frank who are also great guys 😁

ScillyNotSicily · 17/05/2024 20:00

I like Louis. Max is ok. I’m not keen on Franky or Francis at all.

flowerpop · 17/05/2024 20:13

thanks all, really good to get cross section of opinions!! veering towards louis now, partner more towards frankie, may have to flip a coin!

Love Frank, with Francis as a full name. Not so keen on Frankie - although it’s cute for a little boy, and could become Frank as he gets older.

Really like Max.

i’ve personally never liked Louis but I know lots of people do!

polkadotpixie · 17/05/2024 21:31

Max or Louis

LiquoriceAllsorts2 · 17/05/2024 21:35

i would rank as follows:
Louis (love)
Max
Franky

Hopealong · 17/05/2024 22:17

Love Louis and Max and would depend on which one went better with surname

Am805463 · 17/05/2024 22:19

Louis is much nicer than Frankie.
