Boys names like Hugo & Digby

I love the names Hugo & Digby but my friends have recently used these names on their dc.

Any suggestions for names along the same lines? Nothing too popular..

Hugo is mega popular.

Fraser goes with them ime.

Itchytights · 05/07/2018 19:40

Digby sounds like a dogs name and Hugo sounds veh veh posh dahling...

I’m not keen on either.

Sorry

lots33 · 05/07/2018 19:40

Diggory!

Disfordarkchocolate · 05/07/2018 19:41

Hector?

Depend where you live.
If you’re down south and they’re going to private school, crack on.
If up north and going to state school all the best

I like Hugo, I think it’s lovely. I’m afraid Digby reminds me of a certain Mitchell and Webb skit

argumentativefeminist · 05/07/2018 19:43

Tory names. Try David or Cameron 😂

overnightangel · 05/07/2018 19:43

(I say that a northern state schooler!!)
Names are subjective but they’re both cringey imho

argumentativefeminist · 05/07/2018 19:43

Hugo is the nicer one though in seriousness.

Sweetsdo · 05/07/2018 19:43

I don't mind if you don't like the names or not, that's not what I was asking!
I'm not using those names anyway Hmm

Otto
Rupert
Monty
Tristan

NotTakenUsername · 05/07/2018 19:45

Genuinely thought the question would be, “do they sound really twattish?”

😂

Sweetsdo · 05/07/2018 19:45

@Peachbubble thank you, I quite like Otto actually

I liked Hugo but I chose Rufus, so perhaps that's in a similar sort of vein? Rufus usually gets a Hmm response on here too but I (and DS!) like it Grin

Cyberworrier · 05/07/2018 19:46

Otto, Rufus, Rupert, Cosmo? Agree with PP these seem like quite private school type names (or that’s where I’ve encountered Digby’s and Hugos and these names above)

Toadsrevisited · 05/07/2018 19:47

Lots here we considered for Ds2. The list included Otto Walter Victor Rupert Horace Hector Digby Caspian Florian Rollo Sholto...DH vetoed most of them!

Dljlr · 05/07/2018 19:47

I like Otto too. Also Milo and Rafferty but DH threatened to leave me in hindsight I should have gone for it

Cariadxx · 05/07/2018 19:48

I ready don't get why people hate names because they sound posh..... but get lambasted for saying a name is chavvy. I don't understand why it's ok to slag off the upper classes but not the lower classes. I would much rather be called posh than chavvy!!

Ploppymoodypants · 05/07/2018 19:48

Oh I LOVE Digby.
We considered it but unfortunately it’s the name of a well know Victorian mental asylum in the local area which is still relevant today.
What about Diggory. We considered that too, and can be abbreviated to Digger for a cute little boy or Rory for something smarter, depending if preference.

Buddyelf · 05/07/2018 19:49

Sorry OP completely mid-read your post! Rafferty? I know someone who has a Raffety (and we are up north shock horror!) and she calls him Raff which I though was nice

Dljlr · 05/07/2018 19:49

Oh I love the name Rory!

MorrisDancingViv · 05/07/2018 19:50

Willoughby

BabloHoney · 05/07/2018 19:51

Otto is ace, also like Otis. I know a little Hugo who’s brother is called Dexter

SleepWarrior · 05/07/2018 19:53
