Lego Will's (lack of) hair is cracking me up.

I wouldn't pick it for my own kid, but for a British Prince with siblings of George and Charlotte, Louis is a great pick!

I"m "eh" right now on the name; I was "eh" about George but I love it now. I'm glad it was an unexpected traditional name.

I think Prince Louis is adorable.
And I'm so happy it's not Prince Albert.

CNN's article said his name is Louis (pronounced Loo-ee) and had that phonetic spelling. I don't love it but I don't generally love traditional names. I think it flows well with the siblings and I like how they thought outside the box. I hated Albert and Arthur so I feel like this is better than a lot of other choices they were throwing out.

I just like it because nobody guessed it. +1 I never considered this as an option... i think it will grow on me like George did. I also like that it wasn’t one of the top names people thought were contenders

I wonder how much people who voted for Louis won.

Does anyone know, will they say the name phonetically (ending with an S), or like “Louie” (like Vuitton). I guess I mean, any Brits in attendance who know how it is generally pronounced? I was literally about to ask this. I’m hoping for Louie.

Love, love, love the name. I may have squealed when I saw the reports. A little British Prince Louis? Yes, please.

It's funny too that a lot of people thought Alexander but them said no because it is George's middle name. Then they pick Louis and it is another of George's middle names.

I wonder what Kate would have named her kids if she had just married a regular shmoe.

I love Louis. I wanted it to be in running for my baby’s name but it rhymes with our last name.

My MIL called to tell me what a terrible name Louis is (pronouncing it Lou-is) and how I better not be considering it for the baby I'm cooking. I schooled her in the family history and pronunciation.
DD is 5.5 but already shares a name with the princess, so we really don't need more of the same names, but now I almost want to consider it just to spite her 😂

I sent a text to my mom when I saw the announcement and her reply was "seriously? Yuck."
But this is the woman whose suggestions to me when I was pregnant with DD were "Timber" and "Everson" and something I can't remember that ended in -leigh. I gave DD a decidedly English name, even though I couldn't get H to budge on his veto of Pippa.

I’m sure Louis will grow on me but now that it’s officially Louis, I wish they had gone with Arthur.
