What do you think?

Charles Edward Hugh

or

James Edward Hugh

Surname starts with 'M' and is 3 syllables.

I did just think of having Hugh as the only middle name, however I felt esp with James, James Hugh seemed a bit short or unfinished.

Looking for a classic but not overly popular name, suggestions very welcome.

JamieandtheMagicTorch · 05/06/2013 15:49

Jamie most certainly is not naught

forevergreek · 05/06/2013 15:04

James.

James Theodore Hugh
James Elliot Hugh
James Leonard Hugh

Have you considered Hugo rather than Hugh? It just opens options more as flows better ( IMO)

James Hugo Edward M

Don't think Jamie is naughty. Never come across that before. Mind you I discounted Freddie for our DS even though I liked the name, because every Freddie I've ever met, across the generations, has been 'challenging'. Maybe it's just a case of personal association.

Btw you could shorten Edward to Ned or Ted/Teddy, instead of Ed.

Lantern DD name starts with an 'H' hence not keen on having another 'H'. Does it matter.

Hugh is my brother, so it might be a bit odd.

Totally oddly I'm not at all keen on Edmund, I think it's the mund bit. DH is Ed so it would get very confusing having too Ed's in the house Grin

I think i'm leading towards James more so that Charles. I also just think we'd call him Charlie so it might at well be just Charlie and drop the Charles.

Can anyone tell me, why is Jamie seen at a naughty boys name and James isn't. Just something I overheard in a coffee shop over the weekend. yes I was being nosy Blush

Much prefer James to Charles.

TotallyEggFlipped · 05/06/2013 14:44

What about Edmund instead of Edward?

SugarMiceInTheRain · 05/06/2013 14:41

I love the name James. Always have. However we couldn't use it as I had an ex called James (for all of about 6 weeks! Hmm)

eatyourveg · 03/06/2013 22:08

Sebastian Hugh? Charles Edward Hugh is best though

Leeds2 · 03/06/2013 21:58

I would choose James Edward Hugh. Not a fan of Charles, tbh.

PelvicFloorClenchReminder · 03/06/2013 21:39

Would William work? Or maybe Benedict?

bootsycollins · 03/06/2013 21:38

I'd go with James Edward Hugh

Alexander Hugh is my random suggestion Smile

Yes Chipping I promise...Grin

I want Hugh as a mn as it's a very special family name.

Can anyone suggest a name with Hugh as the middle name?
