I'm fairly new to this joint (and mainly just lurked over on the dump) but I know y'all are good at giving name opinions, so I figured I'd see what you had to say.
DH and I have settled on Louis (pronounced the French Loo-ee) as a first name in memory of his grandma who was named Louise (MIL's middle name is also Louise. I try not to worry that this will go to her head.). I first came up with Louis James, and we decided that was it. Our girl's name included a name from a book and a family members name, so I thought I would do the same with our boy's name. (James is from a certain book about a boy wizard. This kid will learn fast that his mom's a nerd.)
Last night, however, I was up to the wee hours debating the James part. Then I came up with Louis Allen. Allen is the middle name of both of my grandfathers, so it would be a nice honor to them. However, do I like it better than James? Do I want 2 family names, instead of just one and then a name that's all his own? Do I worry about my family bringing up that he has no name from our family? This is what keeps me up at night...
Anyways, long story short: which to do you prefer, if either?
