Ooh, I was rubbing my hands together with glee, but these are really inoffensive. Grin

I vote:

Hugo (but prefer Hugh tbh)
Thomas
Samuel

I find Samuel slightly wet. Blush Also Daniel. I think k just don't like names with that sound at the end!

Thomas and Samuel are the names of what seems like 90% of the boys aged between 0 and 18.
I know a million (slight exaggeration) of both.

Hugo is better because it's not as popular but it is rather 'posh'.

Samuel, I think. All nice names though!

Samuel and Thomas are meh.

Go for Hugo.

Avtually, scratch that - I only like Hugh. Eggy is right. Hugo not nice.

Thomas, but actually prefer just Tom, by a long way. (Yes, I know you're not allowed to use nicknames as full names on mumsnet, but I don't care)

Samuel and Thomas are both awesome. Hard to pick one of the two.

Hugo is.. meh it's okay.

Koala never thought of shortening it down to Hugh! That's much better!
When I hear the name Hugo, I immediately think of the irritating, fat gargoyle from The Hunchback of Notre Dame Hmm

I'm putting ticks next to each name pple say they prefer ,on paper (yes it's got to this stage)!

Thomas

Report
NappingRabbit · 17/10/2016 11:51

Thomas is fine, as is Tom but I really don't like Tommy as a nickname.

I like Sam but don't like the 'mule' sound in Samuel.

Really not keen on Hugo, far too Made in Chelsea for me.

PotatoBread · 17/10/2016 11:52

Sorry but I don't really like any of them. As a PP said Thomas and Samuel are the names of about 90% of the younger male population (also a slight exaggeration). If I had to pick it would be Thomas though.

Really dislike Hugo. It's a bit too Made in Chelsea or whatever that prog is called

Thomas is too common for me. Which is entirely contradictory as my eldest has a very popular name.

Hugo too posh. Really not keen.

Samuel lovely. Was a contender for my eldest. I don't know any children called Samuel.

Love Samuel, Thomas is ok but a bit boring and Hugo is too posh imo

This naming boys malarkey is turning out to be even harder than finding a decent double pram ! Why do I have ten girls names on the tip of my tongue ?!
