Is one of your other children named [name]Louie[/name]? If that’s the case, then I change my vote to [name]Soren[/name].

Why does the o in [name]Soren[/name] have a cross through it? I love the name, though!

I guess my answer would depend on where you’re living. If you’re in the US or [name]Canada[/name], you’ll have a lot of spelling problems with [name]Llywelyn[/name] (I’d never seen this spelling until now, as [name]Llewellyn[/name] is the more common spelling), and a lot of people will be bewildered by the diacritic accent in Søren. Knowing that it will most often be spelled [name]Soren[/name] unless you’re in Norway or Denmark, do you like the name as much?

I think [name]Stellan[/name] would be much more wearable in an English-speaking country so I suggest that, or else put [name]Eli[/name] up front. What are the other names in your signature? Names you like or names of your kids?

I voted for the [name]Soren[/name] [name]Eli[/name] [name]Llywelyn[/name] combo. I also have not seen that spelling for [name]Llywelyn[/name]. I would also be interested to know your other kids’ names if you’re willing to share. I’m assuming you’re in Denmark or somewhere over there? I think [name]Soren[/name] would even work in the US, but you’d see it mostly without the slash through the ‘o’.

I am also unfamiliar with the [name]Llywelyn[/name] spelling. I have not yet voted because my vote depends on where you live- if not in Scandinavia (or a country whose alphabet includes ø), Søren will show up on almost all official documents as [name]Soren[/name], so it might as well be spelled that way. If you are in [name]Wales[/name] or the UK in general, [name]Llywelyn[/name] could work (although I prefer the [name]Llewellyn[/name] spelling). If you are outside of the UK, I think spelling and pronunciation issues for Llyweln could be very problematic. If you are in the US/[name]Canada[/name]/Australia/NZ, I think [name]Soren[/name] with this spelling would be the best choice.
