I love the French theme (I’m assuming you pronounce Laurent "Lo-RON" and Edouard "Ed-W-ARE" and Albert "Al-BARE"), but if you’re American or British, just make sure you’re okay with your son having a potentially difficult-to-pronounce name. That said, I LOVE Albert! :)

I like Laurent. But what are your other kids’ names? That might help with choosing.

Yes, the pronunciations you have are correct, Katie. We are French and we want to have all our children with saints names. Our other kids names are Michel, Christophe, Marie and Alexandre. Thank-you.

Well, if you’re French, there’s no pronunciation issue, so let’s see...I think I’d still go with Albert. If he travels to English-speaking countries in the future, they’ll call him AL-berte at first, but the French pronunciation of Albert is easier for English speakers to say than the other two. (My husband is French and his name is Yves--when we moved to Philadelphia, his name was a mystery to people! :) ) All of your names are lovely, though! Good luck!

Don’t care for Laurent just reminds me of the designer. Edouard is spelled too weird. GL!
