Rufus, Hugo or Laurence

[Bue]

I think we have finally narrowed down our boy list to Rufus, Hugo or Laurence (Laurie). Middle name will be Frederick. Please vote!

Love Hugo!

Love Laurence the best although I do like your other two!

Laurence is also less popular if that matters nn's could be Laurie or Renzo which I think is cute!

Rufus is a dogs name

I have a Hugo frederick

Do you really need to ask?

Was going to say Hugo! So no help, always think Laurence is a bit wet and the only adult one I have met was seriously bonkers and rufus is a dogs name.

I'm SO sad Hugo has been pulled out of the contest. It is far and away the nicest of them.

Rufus is ok. Laurence isn't. I just personally don't like it as a name. But additionally I knew three growing up and all were known as Loz/Lozza which just sounds awful. Plus, when you try and think of famous ones who do you think of?

Hugo; Victor Hugo, Hugo Boss, Hugo Rifkind -all nice enough.

Rufus; Rufus Hound, Rufus Wainwright - again both nice enough

Laurence; Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen...

I'm sure there probably ARE others but those are the immediate ones which come to my mind.

Laurence (in its entirety).

Hugo or Rufus.

My son is called Hugo. My husband suggested the name, I think perhaps because he is a spurs fan lol. I liked it because of Victor Hugo, other Hugos including Hugo Weaving and Hugo Boss

It went on the list of names but the student looking after me during my elective section was named Hugo, so our son ended up being named after him!

Rufus. I know a young adult called Rufus and he is delightful

Frederick as a first name. Great name.

My favorite is Hugo then Rufus then Laurence. All great though. Agree with the Loz/Lozza thing. I knew two who were both called this! Awful. (But hopefully only during their teenage years?)

I like Rufus, strong, different. I do like Hugo but maybe more popular? Laurence is a bit feminine to me for whatever reason. I would then also suggest Ralph and Rafe xxx

If it were still in the running, Hugo 100%!

Rufus is nice, I much prefer it to Lawrence.

Rufus

I have a Rufus so I'm biased. The only Lawrence I knew was very effete and it put me off the name... I love Hugo but it didn't work with our surname.

well between Laurence & Rufus it has to be Rufus (I have a ds with one of those names )

Laurence is a girls name in France and Switzerland, the feminine version of Laurent.

Who knows where your son might end up living or working. I'd spell it Lawrence for a boy.

Lawrence is the best IMO and love the nickname Larry

Rufus closely followed by Lawrence

Rufus is a dogs name.

I like Laurence as well. It immediately brings to mind Laurence Olivier, the actor, and then second, Lawrence (OK, different spelling) Dallaglio, the rugby player.

Hugo. Love it.
