Boys names that work in FRENCH/ENGLISH??

[Psychomumma]

I'm English, my husband's French. So far we have 2 girls, and a boy called Sebastien John. Expecting son no.2 mid-Dec, and need to find a name that works in both languages... I love Theo (can't do accents on this pc) but FIL vetoed it . We both like Louis, but BIL (aged 41, 50% chance of never settling down to have kids gggrrrrr) has reserved it. Also love Joshua, but have nephew calld that . I think it needs to have at least two syllables to go with big bro's name. Any ideas?? I like more unusual names, but DH is q conservative . Help please!

What about Thomas?

(When I did my French exchange years ago a lot of the boys were called Kevin. Go figure...)

Has reserved it?! I'd say first come first served. What about Alexander or Maxime - Max. Also Joseph, Raphael, Hugo. I would definitely go for Louis though!

Arthur, which is pronounced Artuuure.

Baptiste is nice too.

Pascal?

Sebastian.

So far in all the European countries we have taken DS to they say, "But he has a Dutch/French/Austrian/German* (delete as applicable) name" Everyone wants to claim it!

A friend of mine has a sebastian and a dominic

Lucien
Hugo
Maxim
Michel
Paul
Etienne
Bernard
Rene
Henri
Emil

How exactly does FIL have a say??? It's not his baby!

Ooh, Emile is lovely!

David?

Tristan

Fabian

and btw you can have loads of fun on this site

noms.voila.fr/v2/welcome/default_voila_v3.asp

Just go to the "prenom" box in the lower middle part of the page and type in any first name you fancy and it shows you a graph of popularity.

much time-wastiing available there

Love Hugo, Herve, Fabian and Stephan (does remind me a bit of dodgy neighbours bloke- Stephan Dennis )

I had a similar dilemma as we are both English but live in France. DS2 arrived on 26 August and is Samuel William Nicholas, which seems quite popular & easy to pronounce for the neighbours!! He was almost Luc too...
Other ideas in DS1's CP class are ;
Cody
Clarentin
Victor
Adrian
Erwann
Baptiste
Titouan
Dorian
Mael
Marin
Franck

I'm sorry but what has it got to do with FIL? If you and your DH like the name Theo (which I think is really nice) then go for it! And how can BIL 'reserve' a name? Again, if you and DH like it, then go for it.

I think Theo is lovely too, and would go beautifully with Sebastien. Why does your FIL have a problem with it? And if it isn't a serious problem, I'd just say 'Well, we love it so we've decided to use it'. Once the baby is born he'll get over it I'm sure.
And what if BIL never has a child? Or the mother of his child doesn't like the name Louis? Or he only has girls? Again, I think you should discuss this with him if you do really like it.

Sorry, just seen your message about your BIL. But TBH, no-one can reserve a name.

Luc or Luca
