Hugo

[foxykins]

Massive surge for this name this year!
I know of 6 born in 2016 so far and just seen another bump tagged with th name on Facebook

Looks like the new Oscar!

I don't know any babies called Hugo but for some strange reason there are 5 Hugos in our school nursery class of 40 children! Only one other Hugo in the whole 3-13 school. Very strange.

I don't think I know a single person (child, baby or adult) called Hugo!

I think it was a name that was more for the 'posh' but it has now filtered down and is being used by a lot of people. I don't like it myself.

Horrible name.

I prefer Hugh.

My daughter's hamster was called Hugo.

In my own school (Irish, Catholic) I don't think there's ever been a Hugo - however when we did a group event with the local Church of Ireland school I was shocked by how bloody many of them there were! Always thought it was interesting.

I think all the Hugo's are being born now or are 2nonths - not born old!
Literally these 6 are born since April.

A kids' film called Hugo came out in 2011, so I wonder if that may have increased its popularity. It might be when it comes on TV /Dvd a couple of years later that it becomes more widely known.

I think it came on TV last xmas

"I think it was a name that was more for the 'posh' but it has now filtered down and is being used by a lot of people. I don't like it myself."

That's it exactly it Mottled. I know three little Hugos, I think it's popular with people who think it's a bit posh. I think Jasper is the same - I know two of them.

My cats called Hugo . I love the name but I just can't imagine a baby would suit it for some reason..

I've never met a Hugo in my life.

Oooh, Openminded , I had a hamster called Hugo once too. Poor Hugo, I bought him while drunk (student days) and regretted it for the rest of his life

Hugo, Jasper, Quentin and Sebastian are all names that were once seen as 'posh' but have become more mainstream. I once read a chapter in Freakonomics explaining this 'trickling down' of names.

Hugo makes me think of French Bulldogs and I really have no idea why.

I've not met any little Quentins yet.

I know two Hugos aged 10 and under. I like it.

We have a Quentin btw. Only know one other of a similar age.

Ha ha I have a Hugo and an Oscar - the Hugo wasn't born this year though.

It's excellent for Knock Knock jokes.

And those old book title jokes.

I love the name Hugo, it was on my list for DS last year. It does sound a teeny bit posh I suppose but I still love it. I know one who is 6 years old, haven't met any baby Hugo's though.
