All lovely.

Robert

AdaColeman · 19/03/2021 20:31

All are lovely names.

My favourites are Hugo and Rupert.

Robert is a good standard traditional name, and I like Rob as a nickname.
Jack has been extremely popular for many years so I wouldn't choose it.

My brother is 40 and a robert, so due a revival. I don't think it was particular fashionalble then, so its a very safe name.

Odile13 · 19/03/2021 19:40

Jack or Robert - I’m not keen on the other two

SilverOtter · 19/03/2021 19:35

Hugo

WildCherryBlossom · 19/03/2021 19:28

I like Hugo best. It's a good selection.

EileenGC · 19/03/2021 19:27

Jack.

I like Hugo just as much but saying ‘Louis and Hugo’ is not really comfortable for me, it’s like my tongue gets trapped for some reason Grin Hugo and Louie not an issue.

Itsjustaride8w737 · 19/03/2021 19:14

Jack or Robert.

Rupert and Hugo sound very pretentious.

Chicchicchicchiclana · 19/03/2021 19:08

Robert, lovely name. Much under-used at the moment.

partyatthepalace · 19/03/2021 19:06

Robert - due a revival, lovely as is and Rob/Robbie, Bobby and Robin all great nns.

Hugo I quite like but v of the moment. Prefer Hugh.

Rupert I am not personally keen on, but gathering popularity.

Jack has been done to death

DarcyJack · 19/03/2021 18:53

Robert first choice. Jack ok but overused. Have always hated Rupert and Hugo almost as bad.

Jericha · 19/03/2021 18:52

All good names, Hugo or Jack are fab. Wouldn't go for Robert though with a sibling called Louis, makes me think or Robert Louis Stephenson.

Standrewsschool · 19/03/2021 18:49

All decent names.

Rupert would be my preference.

BackforGood · 19/03/2021 18:46

Really like Robert, and really like Jack.

Hugo is okay.

Rupert is awful.

In my opinion Smile

Spied · 19/03/2021 18:45

Jack

MissyB1 · 19/03/2021 18:45

Hugo without a doubt. Robert is a bit meh and the others are very over popular at the moment.

happystory · 19/03/2021 18:43

Jack or Robert

They are all perfectly decent names and you can’t really go wrong with any of them.

MrsRandallFraser · 19/03/2021 18:35

Jack

Synchrony · 19/03/2021 18:34

Robert

Fivemoreminutes1 · 19/03/2021 18:16

Hugo

Blackcountrychik · 19/03/2021 18:09
