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..

I also don't get the whole anti-'posh' names thing.
I wouldn't put Hugo and Digby in quite the same camp though - I think Hugo is 'posh' and Digby is 'old man chic'.

Like Hugo: Monty, Quentin, Tristan, Sebastian, Cosmo
Like Digby: Stanley, Wilfred, Raymond, Arthur, Ernest

"I love Humphrey! Just wondering how that might be shortened?!"

Daughter's friend has a horse called Humphrey-he's Humpy for "short"!Grin

Humph?

It's hard when you like names and the they get used and your back to the drawing board. But I like barnaby and that's of the same ilk. ( In my humble opinion lol )

Cloud's suggestions are excellent.
