Ludovic

I am actually planning to use this name in a story. I regard it as a very nice name, slightly easy-going and simultaneously slightly strict due to the VIC.

Ludo is a fun nickname (it is Latin for play, after all). I knew a Ludovic once. He and I were best friends before he moved back to France.

I really quite like this name, I certainly think it's usable in English as well as French, and I think Ludo's a great nickname. :-)
