Hector?

We already have an Arthur and are expecting DS 2. Only name we really both like is Hector. Are they too similar? Is Hector getting more popular?

Also loved Jasper but awful with our surname. Maybe Ernest?

DH likes Victor, Walter, Hugo.
I like Humphrey, Stanley.

Help!

Oh dear, I don't think we share taste in names even slightly, I almost wrote Hector is a name that needs to be left to die a death along with names like Humphrey & Walter & I've just spotted that you have those in your list too Confused

Hugo is okay though, I've known a couple of lovely Hugo's too

Reminds me Hector's House, great kids programme.

We have such similar name taste!!! Adore most of those, especially Hector and Hugo.
Hector is a fab name, it's cool and manly. I associate it with Hector of Troy - if you haven't already you should definitely watch the film with Eric Bana as it'll make you love the name more! I'm sure it's going to the be the new Hugo/Arthur, an unusual choice now but in 5 years you'll know quite a few babies with the name. Get on it now before it becomes more common!

I love Hector - I think it is due a comeback and is a nice change from Finlay and Calum/Callum. But I am Scottish so maybe a bit biased...

Favourite book is "Hector and the Search for Happiness" so I love it.
