Hector?

We already have an Arthur and are expecting DS 2. Only name we really both like is Hector. Are they too similar? Is Hector getting more popular?

Also loved Jasper but awful with our surname. Maybe Ernest?

DH likes Victor, Walter, Hugo.
I like Humphrey, Stanley.

Help!

However, looking at your other name choices, I don't think we are 'aligned' when it comes to baby names! Grin

No, it's horrid and an animals name, not a little baby. Someone I knew called her kid Hector, and their dog had a similar 'is it an animal or a human' type name, and I kept getting the dog and the baby mixed up!

All awesome names, you can't go wrong imo.

I love Hector but I know 1 horse, 1 cat and 1 dog with the name.. so it’s association for me is for pets.

Not a huge fan of Hector. I like Hugo and Stanley from your suggestions. Also I do quite like Ernest!
