Boys names like Hugo & Digby

I love the names Hugo & Digby but my friends have recently used these names on their dc.

Any suggestions for names along the same lines? Nothing too popular..

Read a few “Famous 5” novels - I’m sure you’ll find similar names in there....!

Agree Humphrey would be Humph. I think it sounds cute on a baby and manly on an adult - doesn't get much cooler than Humphrey Bogart after all!

Oooh Quentin from Butterfly's list is fab too! I love Queenie for a girl too. I always think it'd be so cool to have a name starting with a 'Q'

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 05/07/2018 21:41

Humphrey surely has to be Humph, as in the much missed Humphrey Lyttleton. Nice name.

Quinton or Quentin

Clement

In my family we have grown up Hugo, Digby, Tristan, Barnaby, Michael, Tobias and Hugh. Some are elderly now but I love all their names.

ChicagoWest · 05/07/2018 21:13

Oh and not sure if anyone has suggested it already but I love the name Ludo too!

ChicagoWest · 05/07/2018 21:12

I love Monty and Hector.

I also adore the name Eric for a boy but not sure this would fit in with the names you mentioned, OP. Just thought I'd add Eric in though in case you do like it!

AntoinetteOuradi · 05/07/2018 21:07

Wonderful names on here. My DS's name included. Humphrey would be shortened to Humpy, or Humpty Dumpty (OK, so it's not a shortening, but there we go). There is one in my family. Beauregard is fabulous (nn Beau).

bookmum08 · 05/07/2018 21:05

I used to know a Digby.
He was a hamster though.

Ray/Rey could be a shortening at a push? Or Humph, but that always sounds a little... huffy! The baby I knew was just Humphrey.
