Walter or Hugo?

I love Walter- it’s so classic and lovely. I can see and handsome man being Walter. But is it too much for a baby or little boy? (Husband loves it and is pushing for it). I’ve heard all the ‘connotations’ for Walter and am not bothered by them.

Hugo- again, a lovely, strong handsome name.

Which do we go for? Our boy has white blonde hair , blue eyes and is oh so beautiful!

I prefer Walter Smile But you should listen to your gut feeling!

Walter is much more striking and distinctive, I’d go with it since you obviously love it. Walt is a nice shortening too. Hugo is a great name but quite popular at the moment.

Ah I think Walter is lovely- but it’s definitely
husband’s first choice.

I want to love it for him. But I’m not sure I just don’t want to feel like I’m giving my little boy a name that just isn’t right…

100% Hugo

Walter is really unattractive.
