Louis, Franky or Max

[flowerpop]

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?

Our cat is Louie. I teach a Frank who is lovely, and a Franky who is also lovely - but nickname for Francesca.

They're all awful

Sorry to put a spanner in the works but of the 3, definitely Max! 🤣 Young boys seem to love that name - I don’t know if it’s the punchy X sound or that there seem to be a lot of characters in kids TV and books named Max? Either way, it’ll likely be the one your DS will like the most.

(Plus Louis has spelling and pronunciation issues and Franky/Frankie is trendy and also pretty popular for girls, which he might not appreciate if there is one in his class).

Louis

I'd go Francesco rather than Francis
All 3 names are fab.
Frankie is prob most unusual.

Max or Louis are both nice

Louis is lovely. I would choose Louis Maximilian.

I love Louis.

Francis is our DCs middle name. Not chosen as such, it was family tradition for eldest child and we’d have used Frances if we’d had a girl. My DHs PhD supervisor was Frank, interestingly it was his middle name shortened to Francis

Louis by miles

Louis is my favourite, but the others are nice.
There are 3 Frankie’s in my DC’s reception class though! I think it is on trend.

Max

Louis Francis goes well together

Louis - by a mile. Really like the name.

Francis nn Frankie.
Not Franky it looks like wanky.
