Baby boy is 2 weeks and still no name. It’s down to either Hugo, Felix or Theo.. please help me decide. Thank you!

You can't go wrong with any of them so just see what feels right for him. Without seeing him I'd lean to Theo personally.

Theo for me. Yes it might be a lot more popular than the other two but there's a reason for that.

Hugo and Felix are much too 'private school toff' for me (which might be what you are actually going for, but too posh for me!).

Theo suddenly seems to be everywhere. I would go Hugo or better still Hugh.

Toomuchgoingon79 · 06/05/2024 06:22

Hugo then Felix then Theo

NetMum2 · 06/05/2024 06:16

Theo. I’m not keen on Felix.

stopringingme · 06/05/2024 06:10

Felix is my favourite.

Then Hugo.

Not keen on Theo

Felix - lovely meaning and underused. Then Hugo. Theo my least fave, although it’s perfectly fine.

user1492757084 · 06/05/2024 05:54

Felix is the happiest. Have you thought of Hugh?

LauderSyme · 05/05/2024 23:35

Now that he is two weeks old there must be one of these that suits him more than the others?

LauderSyme · 05/05/2024 23:34

Felix. I love it's meaning. I always liked the Felix character in James Bond too.

My autocorrect changed it to Felixstowe. Don't call him that. Nor Ipswich 😉

I used to love Theo but for me it's been spoiled by overuse. Hugo makes me think Hugo Not (Huguenot) and is too much like Huge.

nocoolnamesleft · 05/05/2024 23:32

I'd say Theo first, Hugo second, Felix third. I do like Theo.

Twiklo · 05/05/2024 23:29

Hugo is gorgeous

catherinewales · 05/05/2024 23:27

Felix is a cats name so I'd rule that one out. I love Tobias (Toby for short). Out of your names I love Theo xx

NuffSaidSam · 05/05/2024 23:27

I like Hugo best.

Felix is nice, but too cat food based.

I don't like Theo because all the ones I know are horrible kids!

Princesspotatopie · 05/05/2024 23:25

voted Theo but I love Hugo too. Felix I dislike

SkaneTos · 05/05/2024 23:03

Congratulations!
I voted for Hugo, but they are all good names!

Moreteaandchocolate · 05/05/2024 22:01

I voted for Theo - I know it’s very popular but I’d rather choose a popular name I love than a less popular one that doesn’t feel quite right. Your other two names are solid choices too though - which one feels “right” to you?

Welovecrumpets · 05/05/2024 21:42

Felix! Hugo and Theo are getting a bit ubiquitous among middle class boys, Felix is the outlier and I really like it because it’s Roman

MumChp · 05/05/2024 21:35

Theo

aibutohavethisusername · 05/05/2024 21:35

Hugo

MissScarletInTheBallroom · 05/05/2024 21:31

All lovely names, you can't really go wrong.

Sorry that's not helpful!

I would rank them in the order you've listed them though.
