A few months ago, I put our favourite boys names on here inc Hugo, Tobias, Oscar, Edward, Miles, and Hugo took the lead in your votes...I love the name Hugo. However there were a number of you who criticised the name saying it was pretentious and the like. If we had a Hugo, he wouldn't be born with a silver spoon in his mouth and wouldn't get a private education as some of you had an expectation associated with the name. However, I still love it...so does it matter? Fed up with going around in circles with this name and would appreciate your final verdict on the name. I have 5 weeks to go and need to get a name sorted. Many thanks.

I like all of your list. Hugo is very nice. I think all of the names are traditionally posher than some, but that means diddly-squat. If you like it, use it. People wont be laughing behind your back if that's what you are concerned about.

I love Hugo, it's on my list :)

If you love it then use it, you don't need anyone elses permission.
