Edward or Hugo?

Trying to decide between the two! I’m looking for a classic English name that’s easy-ish to spell. (Im currently living outside the UK so popularity is not an issue.) I love the nickname options for Edward, but Hugo feels a bit more special somehow (and I love the meaning of heart and mind). Both have family significance.

Note: I can’t use Hugh or Edmund as they are already in use in the family (mentioning this, because they always get suggested as alternatives!).

Thank you!

I prefer Edward.
Do you like Edwin?

Hugo, although I do also love Ted as a nickname for Edward. Which goes best with your last name?
