What do you think of these names? Wanting something classically English that isn't too popular or out there! We don't know babies sex but we have easily agreed on a girls name. Struggling much more with boys!

Top three at the moment are Hugo, Edward or Alfred...

Love hugo and ed, not alfred though.

FfionFlorist · 15/11/2016 11:54

Edward and Hugo are great names. Alfred is less great and would be shortened to Alfie, which is everywhere.

DramaAlpaca · 15/11/2016 11:55

I like Edward best from your list.

MrsGB2015 · 15/11/2016 11:56

I love Edward and Hugo

Gruffalosfriend · 15/11/2016 12:12

I like Hugo best or what about Edmund or Quentin?

user1472334322 · 15/11/2016 12:19

Edward,but I'm biased as ds1 is Edward! Congrats and good luck choosing.

BabooshkaKate · 15/11/2016 12:23

Alfred.

Edward -- people will think you're a twilight fan

Hugo -- getting very popular and common, I'm hearing Hugo and Theo shouted in parks and on busses very often, but that might just be where I live?

MargaretCabbage · 15/11/2016 12:25

I have an Edward so I'm biased towards that. I like Hugo too, but not Alfred. Nobody has ever made the Twilight association with Edward, I've always been complimented on how lovely and classic it is.

Edwadd

Hastalapasta · 15/11/2016 12:27

Congratulations!
Hugo is getting very popular, how about Hugh? Or Huw? Edward could be Teddy, Ted, Ned, Eddy as well as Ed, Alfred will be Alfie or Fred, which I also hear all over the place!

oldlaundbooth · 15/11/2016 12:27

Edward

SorenaJ · 15/11/2016 14:12

They are all so beautiful, in order Edward, Hugo, Alfred

ps2304 · 15/11/2016 14:12

Thanks everyone,

Edward is my favourite, the other two are my husbands favourites!

I like Alfred best, then Edward. Prefer Hugh to Hugo.

CakeRattleandRoll · 15/11/2016 15:34

Edward is my favourite, although I would have thought it was quite a bit more popular than the other two (according to ONS anyway).

Dropmealine · 15/11/2016 15:38

Hugo or hugh
How about Edwin , Edgar or Edmund for something a little different?

user1470686892 · 15/11/2016 16:12

Love Edward, stood the test of time, unlike flash in the pan Twilight (stupid comment)

icantgetnosleep5 · 15/11/2016 17:05

I love Hugo and Edward, Ive just named my baby Hugo , I do like saying it aloud 😃

TurquoiseClouds · 15/11/2016 18:30

In order:

  1. Edward
  2. Hugo
  3. Alfred
Sugarpiehoneyeye · 15/11/2016 20:25

Hugo by far !

caffelatte100 · 17/11/2016 20:12

Alfred best,
Edward (shortened to Teddy)
I would not call a child Hugo.

SausageSoda · 17/11/2016 22:12

I like Edward best and then Alfred (don't like Alfie as nn though but Freddie is cute if you want a nn). Don't like Hugo at all.
