Hi
Lucille,
Ludwig is seen to be a very old-fashioned name in Germany nowadays. Personally I don't know of any
Ludwig who is younger than 70 years old in Germany.
But the name has got a kind of come-back in Sweden right now. It's mostly spelled
Ludvig, but also
Ludwig, and in 2002 it was the 28th most popular name for boys in Sweden. So I won't be surprised if it will become popular in Germany again, too.
Regards,
Satu
