Ludo?

Due later this year with a boy and have NO idea what to call him!

We love Ludo but saw someone’s dog was called Ludo and now can’t help but think of it as a dogs name?

Also love Harrison but my DH knows a Harrison who was a bully at school so he can’t come around to it.

I love Ralph but not sure it hits the spot…

Also love the name Joss but can’t use it!

Hit me with any and all suggestions!!

Never mind the dogs’ name.

If you say Ludo, I think board game before child's name. Maybe Harry if you liked Harrison? Anything else in your long list that we can give thoughts on?

You say Ludo and I think Lido or Cluedo. Ralph is great.

I’m afraid dog was the first thing that came to mind… sorry.

In my head it is a dog's name or board game

It’s a fantastic dog’s name

Olika · 11/06/2025 13:02

For an animal yes, for a child no.

How about Scrabble?

I like it. I work with a Ludo, but it is short for Ludovik.

I mean Ludo is a sweetheart in the film but people of a certain age, me!, will think of Ludo 😄

Rvethetgergwtbteh · 11/06/2025 13:17

I like it but would always be thinking LUDO FRIEND

Cillaere · 11/06/2025 13:25

What about Ludovic, as in Ludovic Kennedy? Ludo for short is actually quite sweet I think. I've heard a lot worse names.

Duckyfondant · 11/06/2025 13:25

If he's quite big with reddish hair it could work 😁

feelingbleh · 11/06/2025 13:28
