Would Hugo and Cuba clash?

[talkingtofrank]

Do you think the names Hugo and Cuba go well together? Every time I say them together out loud they sound almost 'clunky' and difficult to say together! I'm not sure if it is just me that thrills this. Other possible boys names that we have are Gabriel, Tristan, Isaiah and Sasha.

Which name have you already used Hugo or Cuba?

Is Cuba really a name? I don't think they clash but I have to admit when I glanced at your title I thought maybe you meant politically and were on the wrong forum!

I have a Hugo already, I probably should have said that, sorry!

Huga and Cubo.

Sounds like it will be easily mixed about!!

Hugo is very posh boy.
Cuba is more chilled Caribbean.

I think the names go well together but I also like Gabriel and Tristan was going to call my little one Tristan if I had a boy but I had a girl

Cuba's not my cup of tea, but from your list I think Hugo and Gabriel are lovely and go well together.

I thought this was a weird time warp political thread. #grumbles#

As you were.

They clash a bit - both the sounds together and the fact that they're such different styles of name.

I think they clash a bit. Hugo goes better with Gabriel or Tristan.

Cuba sounds like a dog's name.

Why on earth Cuba?

Kuba (with a 'k') is becoming more common now in some areas. It's the shortened version of Jakub/Jacob.

At my DC's school, there's one in nearly every year group (high numbers of children with EAL), so no one would think it was all that unusual.

Hugo & Gabriel much better together.
Hugo & Cuba seem very different & don't really go that well...

Sounds too tongue twistery to me. Also feels like two very different styles of name (if that matters)

Tristan is a great name though and goes brilliantly with Hugo.

they don't clash exactly, but together they sound very communist.

Isn't it a bit unfair to give one DS a perfectly nice, normal name and name the other one after a communist Caribbean island?

Why would you do that to him? Why?

And yes, they do sound odder together.

I keep wanting to say Hugo and Cubo.

Surely Jake is short for Jacob. Cuba from Jacob sounds odd.

Huba and Cugo
Cuga and Hubo
Cubo and Huga.
Very easily entwined and easy to mix up.
Hugo and Gabriel
Or
Hugo and Tristan
are the nicest sibset

The only Cuba I am aware of is the American actor, the Hugo's I have met have been mildly posh English Home Counties types. Though I do not think it really matters.

Cuba cheese.

It's a weird name. I don't understand naming your child after a country, but it's particularly weird the country is a bit of a hellhole.

Is this themed? Seems rather political - Hugo (like Chavez) and Cuba...

Anyway in my head I keep saying Huba. They're too similar!

I find the combo a bit tongue twistery to say together. I love Hugo but unsure whether Cuba complements it.

My last two Ocado drivers were Cuba and Rio

Yes v tongue twistery but also just makes me think of Hugo Chavez.
