Arthur, Isaac or Hugo?

As above. We have had the same 3 boys names for a while, my preference being Isaac and DH’s being Arthur. We both like Hugo but I’m worried we are settling.

Thanks

Hugo

Love all 3 names, at a push I would pick Arthur

champagneandfromage50 · 09/03/2020 12:27

There are a lot of Hugo’s where I am and Arthur has become popular too. Isaac was popular a few years ago but I haven't met any young ones with the name. If your not bothered about it being popular it would be Hugo for me

Chocolatecake12 · 09/03/2020 12:23

My Isaac is 13 and has always been the only one in his class and in fact year group....
Anyway that would be my pick as it’s a fab name, it means laughter Smile
I’m not keen on Arthur, sounds like half a.... in sine accents.
Hugo is ok.

Love Hugo I’d choose it if we ever have a boy.

Isthistrueor · 09/03/2020 12:19

I don’t like Hugo either.

Isthistrueor · 09/03/2020 12:19

Arthur
Isaac
Hugo

Bezalelle · 09/03/2020 12:05

I really don't understand the love for Hugo. Depending on your accent it can sound either like "You! Go!" or really snooty and toffy.

rottiemum88 · 08/03/2020 21:34

I'm biased as I have one, but love Hugo 🥰

SallyWD · 08/03/2020 21:34

I think Isaac is one of the most beautiful boys names. I know an 8 year old Isaac, often called Zac.

PinkFlamingo888 · 08/03/2020 21:33

I really like Arthur but there seem to be more and more around. I like Isaac too and used to really dislike Hugo however it is a family name for me and it’s grown on me a lot so I’d probably go for that out of the 3! Our surname starts with a G though and not sure it flows so I’d possible avoid if your surname is similar

EstebanTheMagnificent · 08/03/2020 21:22

In order:

Hugo
Arthur
Isaac

I like Isaac a lot but the constant misspelling would send me demented.

nosleepp · 08/03/2020 18:56

I love Arthur and Isaac, can’t stand Hugo

MikeUniformMike · 08/03/2020 18:55

My favourite is Hugo, but all three are popular.

Lulu1919 · 08/03/2020 18:40

Hugo

DoctorBambino · 08/03/2020 18:27

In order of preference I'd go for Isaac, Arthur, Hugo

SquigglePigs · 08/03/2020 18:15

Not Arthur, but Isaac and Hugo are lovely.

averythinline · 08/03/2020 18:12

Isaac is a great name , second Hugo, 3rd Arthur (lots)

I quite like Isaac Hugo.....

Xanadu58 · 08/03/2020 18:12

IceBearRocks · 08/03/2020 18:10

Hugo always reminds of of the Korean for 7.... Every Higo we know we call them 7!

Peachbubble · 08/03/2020 17:36

Arthur or Hugo

dementedma · 08/03/2020 17:13

Hugo - it’s lovely
then Isaac
Not keen on Arthur

DramaAlpaca · 08/03/2020 17:10

Hugo or Arthur.

Not Isaac, it's one of those names I have an irrational dislike of.

Whatsyourflava · 08/03/2020 17:10

I love all 3 names! Don’t worry you are settling im sure any of those lovely 3 names will suit your little man and feel much more special once it is attached to him

I really love Arthur by the way. Such a strong lovely name with such great nn potential should they choose

userabcname · 08/03/2020 17:08

I have an Isaac so I'm biased but that's my pick!
