Edward would possibly be shortened to Teddy during babyhood (I know that this is widely disliked on MN).
Laurence with a u rather than a w. Probably known as Laurie while small.
Hugo wouldn’t be shortened.

Surname is double-barrelled. Sister has a New Testament name in the top 100.

Hugo is my favourite, with Laurence in second place.

Laurence/Laurie is my favourite.

Edward nn Ted or Teddy is SO common these days.

Hugo makes me think of someone fat and posh.

Tough decision, they're all great names. I love Hugo the best I think but love all the shortening/nickname potential for Edward.

Edward - strong name, variety of different nicknames - Teddy/ Ted/ Ned/ Eddie/ Ed etc

Edward, not keen on the others

Edward and Hugo are brilliant names, but I do also like Laurence!
If I had to choose, I'd have to go for Edward I think. It's number one on my hypothetical boys name list.

Hugo!

Hugo, Laurence, Edward in that order for me.

Edward. It's the strongest of the lot and a fave of mine. Hugo sounds mimsy and Laurence (Lawrence is better) is also mimsy.
