Since this name ends in -ic, I strongly doubt that Ludovic is the medieval Latin form of Ludwig. -ic is not a latinate ending; at most -is is (like in Clovis).
It seems to me that Ludovic is actually the (medieval) French form of Ludovicus, and that name actually is the proper Latin form of Ludwig. [noted -ed]
Also compare the French name Frédéric: it comes from Fredericus, which is one of the Latin forms of the ancient Germanic name Friduric (other Latin forms include Fridericus and Friduricus). So, just like the -ic in Frédéric is a gallicization of Latin -icus, so is the -ic in Ludovic.

My great-great grandfather was named Ludovic and he lived in Southern Loiuisiana, a descendant from France. His nickname was Douvic or Vic.

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. :-)
