We’re due in 3 weeks and can’t decide our little boys name. He is baby number 4 as we already have

Matilda & Eliza (twins)
Freddie

DH wants Bobby which I like but I have always loved Hugo. Other names we like are

Stanley (my late dads name)
George
Chester Smile

Love Bobby (Robert)

Hugo or Stanley
I don’t think bobby goes with the others as much?

EmpressLesbianInChair · 13/04/2019 18:50

Bobby would be a bit babyish for an older child or adult.

I don't like it myself, but I think Hugo sort of 'goes with' your other dc more.

Personally, I love the name Robert and quite like Bobby as a nickname, so that would be my choice but I do feel it is quite different from your other children.

Nnnnnineteen · 13/04/2019 20:26

Robert nn Bertie would be more similar to your other names. Chucking Bobby in the mix would be most random.

Hugo or Stanley

DramaAlpaca · 13/04/2019 20:58

I prefer Robert to Hugo.

stellarfox · 13/04/2019 21:00

I like Hugo and Bobby but not too keen on Robert so I’d probably go with Hugo!

GinasGirl · 13/04/2019 21:14

I love Hugo with your other children's names.

Sophronia · 13/04/2019 23:19

I like Robert

CointreauVersial · 13/04/2019 23:19

Hugo

Shadow1234 · 14/04/2019 01:42

George

pearldeodorant · 14/04/2019 01:44

Hugo for sure. Goes beautifully with your other names!

Greeborising · 14/04/2019 01:56

Big fan of Robert but Stanley is wonderful!

Tavannach · 14/04/2019 02:25

Bobby, and like it more as a nn for Robert.
Stanley's nice too. Hugo isn't great imo.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 14/04/2019 02:50

Hugo

OldAndWornOut · 14/04/2019 02:56

Hugo matches up nicely with your other children's names.

MrsPworkingmummy · 14/04/2019 03:18

I person think 'Bobby' is a hideous name. To me it sounds 'rough'.

I love the names Robert and Hugo though, and think they match your children's names nicely.

Rafabella8 · 14/04/2019 03:24

Out of the two I would most definitely go with Hugo. It lets Freddie' stand on its own with the 'ie' sound and gives Hugo his own sound. If that makes sense

GlitterPixie · 14/04/2019 03:35

Hugo

Poppins2016 · 14/04/2019 03:39

Hugo is a lovely name and goes with your existing DCs names.

Bobby sounds too babyish for a teen/adult.

Krimpy · 14/04/2019 03:47

I person think 'Bobby' is a hideous name. To me it sounds 'rough'.

What's with the 'Bobby' and the 'rough'?

I think the random use of inverted commas is 'strange'.

Krimpy · 14/04/2019 03:50

Hugo is Mumsnet-tastic.

Bobby is too working class for Mumsnet.
