What do you think of Hugo, Milo or Felix? Which is most popular at the moment?

[gnugirl]

What do you think of net.com/baby-name-finder/boy/hugo Hugo as a boy's name? It's listed on Mumsnet's Baby Name Finder.

Not keen on any of them.

How about Hugh? Dont like Felixstowe, agree that it's a cat name. Milo is ok bit too Tweenies for me!

Sorry, I mean felix, blooming predictive text!

Know dogs called Milo and Felix but never come acroos a canine Hugo.

wow. all three are on my favorite names list (if its a boy)
I am surprised that so many people think they are a bit ridiculous!

I love Hugo, and like Milo & Felix. All three are resonably popular where I live, I already know at least 2 of each and my eldest isn't yet at school. I'm in Brighton btw.

Hugo - excellent
Milo - hot chocolate drink downunder
Felix - cat name

All are lovely. Hugo is very French and Felix very German.

There are worse things to be named after than a chocolate drink :)

I have two DSs with two of those names, one grown up, one 15 and have had no bullying/problems and we don't live in Fulham.....:)

Hugo - reminds me of the villain in Batfink (Hugo A-Go-Go)
Felix - ''Cats like Felix, like Felix''
Milo - tis also a cat's name, no?

have to say i agree with colditz, fine if you are going to use private education only.

Love them all and all were on my list. Decided Milo was a bit to "out there" plus in Australia it is the name of a chocolate drink. Hugo and Felix are both gorgeous.

I would have to agree with colditz too. I discounted names I love because they might not fit in at the local comp.

I really like Milo and Felix

I'm surprised so many of you find these names 'teaseworthy'. Don't most kids just accept names for what they are, names of their mates. I struggle to find anything teasable about them, honestly... Or is it just that they're less commonly used and are not Jack, Tom, Charlie or other top 10 names?

DS is at a s London community primary with a very mixed demography, names of all types commonly ridiculed on MN (middle class 'pretentious' / made-up spellings 'chav' / Nigerian names which use good qualities as a name / names from a variety of cultures....many of which appear within ignorant posts asking 'what is the most ridiculous name at your child's school' etc ) and NO teasing takes place amongst children at all.

MN-ers seem to spend time thinking up ways to make a child's name risible.

Where I live (in sunny Fife) I'm afraid these names would all be deemed as "posh" and would be very teaseworthy. Shame really, as Hugo is a good, old-fashioned, solid Germanic name. It's sad but true that these things have to be taken into account really.

Don't like any of them.

Wow, never posted before, I really didn't expect to get such a response. Thank you. Hugo is my favourite too!

I have a Hugo and he is as beautiful as his name!

Milo still reminds me of the Tweenies (purple one).
Felix and Hugo both hugely popular at the independent school I work at.
Personal fave is Hugo.

None of them, sorry.

I like Hugo best. I'm not keen on Milo - no reason, just doesn't do much fir me. I do like Felix.

I have met many more Hugos than Milos and Felixes combined.
