Hugh or Huw

Dh and I have agreed on a boys name.

We live near Wrexham, but neither of us have lived there all our lives. Dh has an English surname, and English parents but considers himself Welsh. He has lived in Wales since he was a toddler, and been to Welsh schools. I am an English Welsh mix, dads Welsh, mums English. I'm from Oswestry (just over border in England), so very used to Welsh names. My brother and dad both have Welsh names.

Dh prefers Huw spelling, but could be persuaded into Hugh. I prefer Hugh.

Told my parents and brother we had decided on name, and just needed to agree on spelling. They all think Hugh is a poncey name, but Huw is down to earth. [Hmm]. They all much preferred the Huw spelling, and considered it right for me and DH.

I'm still unsure?? What are your thoughts?

Not sure what retchy means, presume its ugly. I love the name regardless of any mumsnetter comments. [simle]
