Hugo, Edward or Alfred

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.
