Does Heath work with our surname?

[Twinkletwinkle84]

Last name is Hughes! I've always loved the name Heath but I'm worried it might not work with our last name! Thanks for your opinions

[Jw35]

It's not perfect but it's ok! Heath is a lovely name btw

[GabiSolis]

I'm not mad keen on it, sorry. Sounds like it should be a double barrelled surname tbh.

[WutheringFrights]

You could always call him Heathcliff. Heathcliff Hughes works with Heath as a shortened version.

[ThroughThickAndThin01]

I think it's ok. Not perfect, but if you love it I'd use it.

[Sophronia]

I think it's ok

[Twinkletwinkle84]

Thanks for the responses! It really is the only boys name that DP and I love. There are others that we like but we keep coming back to Heath!

[thebiscuitindustry]

Sorry but I don't think it really works with your surname TBH.

[cosytoaster]

I think it's fine and you're overthinking it.

[EnriqueTheRingBearingLizard]

Heathcliffe does work better IMO, shortened in everyday life.

[TillyTolly]

Agree that Heathcliff works better, albeit shortened to Heath for day to day usage. 'Heath Hughes' sounds like a description of a section of paint colour chart in an interiors feature. Now, that's not necessarily a bad thing but it would irk me if I was using it on a regular basis

[everdene]

I think people would call him Keith (sadly!) and Keith Hughes is not as glam!

I met a mother of a Heath and she said she wished she hadn't chosen it as it didn't sound like a name when she yelled it across a park.
