Hugo or Elias

[Spookberries]

These are probably final 2 although we have 2 other backups as well.

Opinions between the two?

Ooooh, ooooh, ooooh .... Elias.

Lovely lovely name.

Hugo .... hmmmm ..... less lovely, a bit poncey imo.

Hugo is quite common ( as in lots of). I have never met an Elias.

Hugo was on the list for my daughter 16 years ago. It wasn't as in vogue then as it is now.

My grandson Elias is called Eli. Love it.

Hugo, at a push. I think I like Hugo, just prefer Hugh. I consider Hugo a poncey name, and Hugh a good solid name.

Elias, too close to alias to me. We used to know a gypsy called Sonny (bought hay for his horses from my dad), and Sonny was his alias name, we didnt find out about his real name, till he was in jail in Germany for fraud. His real name was Eli. I hear Elias and immediately think of Sonny. When dad found out he was a horse thief he wanted to stop selling him hay, but was concerned if he said something he'd have his landrover stolen etc. Sorry, for the long story, but rather ruined the name Elias for me.

We have a Hugo, so I obviously love it He gets called Hugo Bear a lot...

That said, I like Elias too!

Hugo. Bit more grown up and classic.

Elias, I like it but it is so NW London (see Elias & Grace beloved of Jools Oliver) and that would put me off, it may date more than Hugo.

Elias all the way! Hugo is too posh for me too!

Elias.

Hugo is much too poncey - you'd have to dress him in Boden slacks and drive him round in a Range Rover. And who can afford that these days?!!

LOL Cuppa - my Hugo owns Boden trousers but won't wear them He'd wear cotton shorts every day if I let him...

(and we don't have a Range Rover either )

It depends on your accent - if the O in Hugo will be short and sweet, like and "Oh" then I would go for it. If it will be stretched out a bit a sort of e-ow sound - then Elias!

Just updating this - his name is Elias Hugo

And it's me, but namechanged

Very nice! Love Elias.

Oh, and congratulations!

Love Love Love Elias! I dont know of anyone called that. Quite like Hugo too but not as much

Just noticed you already named him! lovely name congrats!
