HUW - yay or nay?

[WhatGoodIsThis]

I can take it.

[emmanumber3]

Are you Welsh? If not I'd probably steer clear to be honest. Mind you I'm not a fan of Hugh or Hugo either.

Sorry - just my opinion .

[pushmepullyou]

Yay, love it!

Particularly if you're Welsh!

[SecretNutellaFix]

If you're Welsh, live in Wales or have Welsh connections then go for it. It's a great name.

[tummytickler]

Yay!

[ClipArt]

Yes, if you're Welsh.

[nevergoogle]

i like it, even if you're not welsh.

[MelinaM]

Much prefer the spelling Hugh, and love Hugo

[squeak2392]

Sorry, but I HATE the way this is pn.
Hugh's okay though, and I love Hugo.

[MrsKitty]

If you're Welsh or with Welsh connections, then YES!

[hellojude]

What secret said..! otherwise Hugh!

[deliakate]

I'm fully biased as I have one. Its really great. BUT I preferred Hugh when we were deciding on names - the only way DH would agree to the name was the Welsh spelling (we both have Welsh fathers) - and I still love it this way.

[Emelene]

I personally don't like it and I hesitated on pronounciation / spelling. Maybe that's just me!

[MordechaiVanunu]

Love it.

Huw if your welsh.
Hugh if your not.
Hugo if you want something slightly more rah-rah.

All great names.

[Tortoiseonthehalfshell]

I like it, but he will spend his life saying "...with a W. No, at the end, instead of the gh. Huw. YES it's pronounced the same".

[jellybeans]

I really dislike it, sorry. I know one and it just seems abit 'old man' on a baby!

[PedigreeChump]

Like Hugh very much. Not as keen on Huw spelling.

[ShoutyHamster]

Fantastic :)

[DialMforMummy]

Love it but use the English spelling if you are not Welsh

[saladfingers]

Great welsh name!

[numbskull]

Yay :)

[oohlaalaa]

Yay. Prefer the Huw spelling.

This is on our boys name list, DH is Welsh and we live in North Wales, but we have an English surname. I think with our English surname, Hugh is probably better.

Good luck.

[oohlaalaa]

Ugg, thinking about famous Hugh's. There is Hugh Hefner and Laurie. Hugh Laurie, I really like. Hefner is just awful.

[spotty26]

Hugh Jackman, Hugh Dennis and Hugh Grant are better examples of Hughs!

[jellybeans]

really don't like it.

[PhasesRUs]

Hugh is a lovely name. Huw is good if you are welsh. Hugo is trying too hard. Just my opinion :)
