Like I said, remarkably early (for DH and I!) we seem to have found a girl's and boy's name we both like!

Neither are names I had particularly considered before... I really like them but have (totally over thinking pregnant brain) uncertainties about people's reactions. I don't mind - as I say, I like them - but am intrigued!

We have a Matilda and call her Tilda.

Names are Emma or Hugo.

Is Emma too early 1990s? Will she have an older person's name.... Like meeting a 20/30 year old now called Susan or something would be odd? Or is it classic, as in Emma Hamilton or Jane Austin's Emma?

With Hugo... Are we mad to love it? We do!

Thanks - gut reactions v welcome!

I know a baby Emma and a baby Hugo :)

I love them. I think Emma is a classic. Hugo sounds literary to me, puts me in the mind of Victor Hugo.

Love both names.
Emma is a classic.
Hugo is fab.

I know a baby Emma. Both names are great!

Both perfect with Matilda. Word of warning though, keep them to yourselves IRL, people will alway critique before a child is born.

I think Emma is a classic name that never ages. I've known Emma's of all ages and decades.

And I love Hugo, think it goes really well with Matilda, if that's important to you.
