Hi everyone! This is my first post ever on mumsnet! Smile

I’m 26 weeks pregnant with baby boy no3. I have a George & an Edward (nn Eddie/Ted) & a husband called Henry.

We love traditional names but as you can see we seem to be following a pattern of royals which was never our intention Grin

So... my favourite name is Hugh. Hubby doesn’t really like it but says I can have it. Most of my friends go quiet when I suggest the name too! Could I pls have honest opinions & alternatives.

Names we can’t use: Charlie, Alex, Oliver, William, Arthur.

Thanks xxx

Laurence nn. Laurie
Theodore nn. Theo

I think you should go for Hugo though. It’s cute for a baby but works for an adult.

Hugh sounds more like a grown ups name to me. Whereas Hugo suits baby to adult. IYKWIM.

I think Hugo is sweet but sounds posh whereas others say that about Hugh. What is it about Hugh that people don’t like. I LOVE it! But I get that not many do. Pls be honest

My hubby loves Benjamin. It’s definitely in my top 3 but I like it, don’t love it! Love the other suggestions. Thanks x

Huey is quite cute. Not too sure about Hugh...but if you like it, go for it.

Justmuddlingalong · 29/04/2019 22:56

What about Hugo? It's the sameish but different.
