Beautiful British name

I thought the origins of the name were Germanic?

Leuth

Chlodovech (Fr king) -> Clovis (Latinised) -> Louis. French name originally. But a good British name now

Fanny Fanackapan

The Huelins/Fanackapans are clearly trendsetters .

Middle grandson is Louis Benjamin.

Was FFS your middle name?

My life as a Toby - growing up in Middle Park in the 70's /80's would have been pretty grim

Thankfully little Louis won't have that problem at Ludgrove amongst the Tarquins of this world.

Not checked if this has been posted yet

Leuth

People are still going to read my name off a list and call me 'Lewis', even though LITERALLY EVERY FAMOUS LOUIS I CAN THINK OF EXCEPT THAT GYMNAST IS PRONOUNCED LOO-EE

Leuth

AND THAT AMERICAN CITY I GUESS
