HELP PLEASE!!! Edgar or Gustave?

[SoExcitedMumToBe]

our baby was born this week-end and hasn't a name yet! Help please! We are a French family living in London so need a name which is good in both countries. We loved Hector but realised the bullying meaning only recently and that put us off.... What do you think of Edgar or Gustave? Brother is Oscar, is Edgar too similar? Thanks a lot!

May be ask an English person to pronounce both names for you out loud. That's how your DS will be called by the majority. Also important during the register time at school. My DS1 friend is Guillaume and he always needs to correct people how to pronounce his name.

Hector is awful imo - not only the meaning (to bully) but also the nickname Heck.

I really like Edgar - very cool and underused.

Gustave is ok but I think I prefer it as Gustaf.

Go with Hector. My French friends with a boy called Hector also have a Gaspard FWIW.

Edgar

Hector is great. He could be Tor which is quite cool.
