The baby's potential name had been discussed fiercely in the last few months and while most European royals tend to repeat family names every time there's a new addition to the family, in this case no one knew what the baby was going to be called. Arthur and Albert were some of the names that people were betting on the most, but ultimately his parents added Louis as a first name in honor of their beloved uncle.
