Hi,

I am 30 weeks pregnant with number 3, who we know is a boy. After a lot of stressing (I stress a lot about names) we have narrowed it down to a shortlist of 2. I am really looking for some totally impartial views on these names - not whether you like them or not, as I am confident that I like them and it will definately be one of these two - but what they make you think of. And also which goes better with my older childrens' names!

So it is a choice of Nathaniel (Nat for everyday, not keen on Nate) or Hugo. My older children are called Jude and Scarlett. Our surname begins with an H, so obviously Hugo would also mean an alliterative name. Middle name will be either Alexander or James to be decided.

I guess my main concerns are that Hugo is a bit 'rah' and Nathaniel is a bit of a mouthful, especially compared to the snippiness of my other childrens' names. I love them both but err slightly towards Nathaniel, my hubby prefers Hugo.

Thank you!

I have a Scarlett and Hugo is my first choice for baby number two if he is a boy!

Not fussed on Nathaniel, I think people may try and short it to Nathan which I really don't like.
