Sorry but I have heard Louis pronounced the French way many times in the US.
Michael should have been a name if not Carole or Caroline. And it wouldn't be a problem if Michael was a second name but Pippa used it as a first name. It's really quite sad that her dad has mostly been forgotten.
When I say WnK were forced to name their kids certain ways I mean no one would allow them to name their children non royal but still traditional British names.
May I ask how you know they were 'forced' to name their kids certain ways or that 'no-one would allow them to name their children non royal but still traditional British names?'
I am curious as to your source for this information.
Personally I believe they chose names they liked and who honoured members of their own family. Rob Jobson even confirmed on Australian TV this morning, saying he had it from KP, that Louis is to honour Louis Mountbatten and as a corollary both Philip and Charles who were very close to him.
They have chosen names that link to a variety of people and most importantly names they like.
