Struggling with a first name to go with middle name Hugh.

[farmersdaugther]

I'd like to use Hugh as a middle name (after my brother) but I'm struggling to think of a suitable first name.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Alexander

Great name, but my sister has an Alexander!

Benjamin
Michael
Elliot
Oscar
Peter
Sebastian
Simon
Dominic

... I think you definitely need a two or three syllable name!

[farmersdaugther]

Thanks PPT I was thinking that same thing. My brother is Hugh X X Surname and it works better.

We have a 3 syllable surname ourselves

[SconeInSixtySeconds]

I have a Hugh! First name though. And a three syllable surname.

His middle names is Banedict which I think rolls nicely.

[SconeInSixtySeconds]

FFs.

Benedict.

My ds has Hugh as his middle name and he is called Robert. I think that works well. I really regret not calling him Hugh, a family name, but was concerned about nicknames.

Frederick
Francis
William
Benjamin
Edward
Joshua
Nathaniel
Samuel
Lawrence
Vincent
Victor
Daniel

oscar hugh sounds nice :) x

Cumber. You could claim it's a family name.

Benjamin was my first thought, Benjamin Hugh is just gorgeous!

[farmersdaugther]

Thank you for the suggestions. Ace.

Annoying we can't use for various reason, Edward, Frederick or Dominic.

Oscar Hugh X does sounds great, as well as Lawrence. Had already suggested this to DH.

Love Benjamin however one of my very very best friends has a Ben. However we only see each other every 2 or 3 years. I don't think this is a problem?

I would love a Peter, however DH doesn't like the nn Pete. Boo boo!

Daniel, is great. Concerned about its popularity and not a massive fan of Dan.

Scone I would utterly love love to use Hugh as a first name, however I already have a DD starting with a 'H' however it's silent.

The only name DH and I can agree on his James or Jamie. Still TTC..but i'm a planner control freak

[SconeInSixtySeconds]

It is a family name for us too and although I was concerned about nicknames, no one apart from me uses them though, not even 'H' which was one I worried about.

And despite the fact that he is taller than my 9yr old dd even though he is 7, he hasn't been called Huge.

I don't call him hubaloo, hubster, or hunky monkey, no siree

[ThreeBeeOneGee]

My comment makes a bit more sense (although not much) in the context that I misread the OP and thought you were looking for a middle name to go with the first name Hugh.

I'll just get my coat...

[SconeInSixtySeconds]

It made me laugh three

and gave me another name to torment him with, poor child

[legalalien]

Something norman for sure. I like Robert Hugh as magbob suggests, but otherwise William? Or Richard? Frederic(k)?

[legalalien]

Or Geoffrey? Not a huge fan myself but it does go well with Hugh.

[LedaOfSparta]

Oooooohh Hugh is a great name.

I have a Hugh James if that helps?

Nickname wise for Hugh we go with Shug, Hugh Pugh, Hughdle Noodle, or just Huge (cos he is a big boy).

[WomanvsFood]

I have a Christopher Hugh

[YippeeTeenager]

Alexander Hugh.

[iheartmycat]

Graham Hugh
Edward Hugh
David Hugh
Christopher Hugh

[farmersdaugther]

Still struggling with Hugh as a middle name. I think it's due to it being 1 syllable and the fact our surname is 3 syllable.

Thinking about maybe something like:

James Edward Hugh Surname

[SconeInSixtySeconds]

Give in to the dark side and use it as a first name...you know you want to...

Hector Hugh after the writer?
James Hugh is nice
Peter Hugh
Nicholas Hugh
Phillip Hugh
