Thomas, Samuel or Hugo ?
Thanks :-D

Hugo - really like.

Thomas - ok.

Samuel - please no. There are loads of them road here...I'm starting to think of it as another word for 'boy'.

Haaha 😂 where shouts do u live roughly ? I dnt no of any around me, we are on th English / welsh border, there's not a single one in my children's school or nursery

Where abouts*

Hugo is the one that stands out for me, a great name.

Samuel is part of the "grumpy old gits" name revival going on just now, but isn't too bad, and Thomas is just bland and ordinary.

I'm close to the English/Welsh border too and I know many, many Sam/Samuels.

Thomas
Don't like Hugo

I really like Samuel , love Sammy as a nn for a toddler . I equally like Thomas nn Tommy ... I see a pattern here . Both great names ! Hugo I could take or leave

Hugo is great. Also love Hugh.

The other are a bit ordinary. I marginally prefer Thomas (Tom).

Samuel. I just love that name.

Samuel - love it

Thomas is OK but such a common name, especially for my generation (born mid-80s) so it's likely that he'll have the same name as lots of his friends' fathers!

Hugo - I'm not a fan, don't like the way it sounds and also find it a bit posh, although that's not the end of the world.

What are your other DCs called?

I don't think so. It was in the top 10 from 1991 to 2005 and has been in the top 20/30 ever since then too. It's been fairly popular for a while.

Surely these threads are about emotional responses to names, rather than statistics?
The OP asked for opinions, and that is what I gave her.

Though I am impressed that you know the statistics for the last 25 years.
