Hector or Hugo?

[hulahula]

Already have 15 month old DS called Angus.
Which name goes best with this?

I think both are great names - Hugo perhaps has the edge.

Hector is gorgeous

I think Hector goes better with Angus. Nice Scottish names.

Hugo Hugo Hugo!!

We have one - he is 10 months and totally fab!

He gets called Hugs, Hugzy or Baby-Hugs for short. Everyone comments on how fab his name is..

Both are lovely. Hector a favourite of mine.

Hector

Hugo. Love it! Hector goes well with Angus though. Both great names.

Hugo!

But if you'd said Victor or Hector I'd say Victor.

I love them both - wait and see if he's like a little Hugs or Hec!

I prefer Hugo I think it goes better with Angus, lovely names.

I LOVE Hugo. Very cool.

I don't like either

I love both. I think Hugo has the edge though. I do like Hugh too.

Hugo, although I do like Hector lots. We have a 9 month old Hugo who is known almost universally as Boogie because of dh's habit of calling him hugie-boogie when first born!

Hugo is stereotypically posh, whereas Hector is "interesting posh".

Agree that they both sound v posh.
But Angus and Hugo goes nicely.

I don't like the meaning of hector - that would put me off. Also what nicknames could you use - Heck, Hecky...?

What is the meaning of Hector sophiesmummie?

something like boss? Like in "hectoring"?

Anyone remember him ...If the link works!

Yes, to hector means bo bully/torment. And a hector is a bully/tormentor. Not a good association in my mind.

As it is used quite frequently in the press I think the meaning matters more than if it wasn't used nowadays.

oh. thats not very nice then.
Go for HUGO!!

bigbluebump / sophiesmummie - you're confusing the meaning of the verb "to hector" with the meaning of the name. The name is of Greek origin and means "steadfast". Also strongly associated with the brave and loyal Trojan warrior of the same name.

hulahula - both names are nice, although I think Hector works better with Angus (which is also a great name!). But then I'm biased as DS is a Hector

I'd vote for Hugo.

To me the bully association of Hector is too strong, I also don't like the nicknames - Heck, Hecky?
