Conrad. Great name for adult.

You know a person is an adult for about 90% of his or her life! And only a baby for a year!

Conrad.

I know one of each. Conrad is verrrrry good looking, Hugo is quite annoying. So I'm just being quite shallow really Grin

Conrad all day long. It's a great name

Love Hugh - less fond of Hugo but not sure why. In fact really like Hugh.

HeronLanyon · 09/03/2019 07:01

Conrad. Great name.
But it’s a name to grow into I think. Great name for adult. I don’t think babies/children need cutesy names at all but Conrad feels a bit full-on for young child??

Hugo

Conrad I can't ever imagine at the baby/toddler stage :)

Conrad... as well its my sons name

123Flopsy · 08/03/2019 20:15

Conrad!

HighestMountains · 08/03/2019 20:07

I lile them both but Conrad is more unusual.

bonniebanks · 08/03/2019 19:52

I would go Conrad but my main reason is that I know of 4 baby boys born in the last 6 months called Hugo so Conrad would be a nice change.

MollyHuaCha · 08/03/2019 19:32

Hugo

I thought it was going to be about Les Mis and Heart of Darkness!

Azure83 · 08/03/2019 18:50

Conrad. Our boy's middle name but it was a close call!

Strokethefurrywall · 08/03/2019 18:46

Conrad. Where I am it's a fucking cool name.

lablablab · 08/03/2019 18:44

Hugo. Definitely.

Conrad conjures up an image of an 80s style slimy man in a white suit sauntering around with a huge mobile phone!

mrsdavys · 08/03/2019 18:20

Hugo!
Can’t imagine anyone over the age of 30 named Conrad

stellarfox · 08/03/2019 18:07

I really like Conrad. Hugo is nice too but does give me middle class vibes

CleanAndPaidFor · 08/03/2019 17:42

Lol Beetlewing. Hugo would be born sporting a deerstalker, a pronounced overbite and a glass of sherry in hand.

Beetlewing · 08/03/2019 17:32

Conrad is such a weird name for a baby unless he comes out with Brylcreemed hair and holding a pint of mild

Crockof · 08/03/2019 17:24

Love Conrad different but not weird

lunicorn · 08/03/2019 17:19

There are lots of Hugos in my school.

StillIRise87 · 08/03/2019 17:16

I looooove Conrad. DH wouldn't let me have it!!!
