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.

I love them they sound complimentary together

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

That was my first thought. Ok for a couple of cats if you're an 80's student union leader but otherwise no.

(Hugo is nice btw, but I'd steer clear of Cuba as a name).

I read this half an hour ago and thought no, not Cuba with Hugo but now returning to your thread I am already coming round to it...
The other names go well. Spoilt for choice!

(I was going to suggest Jasper or Orlando but don't want to muddy the waters).

Difficult to say especially if you needed to call them more than once.

Cuba from Jacob sounds odd.

Kuba (pronounced "KOOba") is the short form of the Polish version Jakub, which is properly pronounced "YAK-oob".

In answer to the original question, I don't think they go particularly well together, but more because of the style than the fact that they have a similar sound in them. I agree with the others who have said that Hugo goes better with Tristan or Gabriel.

Hm yep, they definitely clash, and to be honest I don't really like Cuba as a name (but then I am not a fan of place names in general). Your other ideas go much better, maybe Cuba as a wild card middle name? Tristan Cuba sounds like a spy in a novel or an international business mogul.

I know two brothers called Kuba and Hugo, they're Polish. I've always liked their names, never thought they sounded odd at all.

Hmm maybe I will have a rethink on Cuba as a first name then and choose it as a middle name instead.
