What do you think of when you hear the name Hugo?

[Jenniferat86]

I love the name Hugo but DH thinks it might seem a bit posh/pretentious. What do you think?

I'm not at all keen on Hugo. Hugh is far nicer, much more down to earth.

I love it. If we hadn't called our cat Hugo I definitely would be thinking of using it if DC2 turns out to be a boy.

To my shame, Made in Chelsea!

Hugo-a-go-go out of the cartoon Bat Fink!

I don’t think of it as posh but then I had a family member of that name, he wasn’t British though

I think of a man who is posh, affable and a bit dim. Labradors and a Range Rover.

The huge role-poly baby one of ExH’s fellow member of Chambers brought to the Chambers summer party. He was enormous. Cute of course, but I felt for his mum as he was huge at birth too. He was called Hugo. His parents were very, very, posh, pink and jolly.

I think of Hugo Horton from the Vicar of Dibley and the actor Hugo Speer.

The roly-poly baby will be 25 now.

Hugo is like that slightly cokey finance guy from the mid nineties. He tries to be fashionable but ends up sloaney. He's posh and not very bright.

Haha- my naughty new kitten!

Its cool, I know a Hugo and hes a wonderful little boy.

It reminds me of the movie Hugo, the kid who lives in a train station.
Asa Butterfield plays the character. All I know is that Hugo from the movie is a dreamer and he appreciates little things in life.

It depends on where you live tbh.
Hugo, Rupert and Quentin are posh names, I don't know one person or child with those names and I live in a relatively 'well to do' area.
I know a few Sebastians though.
But Hugo is the best of the bunch.

I think of Hugo from Gang of 4. (who's lovely by the way)

The Hugo I know is just the loveliest guy. Super intelligent, mildly sporty, witty. He is quite posh, but first and foremost, he’s just decent and he’s not audacious or ‘try hard’, he’s very down to earth. Before, I would have been pretty judgey about the name, but it has very positive associations for me.

Hugo Boss

I think mega posh. Probably went to Eton and is a raving Tory.

I know of two Hugos - one is the French goalkeeper for Tottenham Hotspur (Lloris) and the other is my neighbour's cat.

It's a pretty fun name to chant, if you're that way inclined... "HUUUUUUUGOOOOOOO" (The cat doesn't like it much.)

I quite like it but sadly the football connotations rule it out for our baby!

I think it’s a bit try-hard. One of those ‘aspirational’ names where the parents are quite newly middle-class... I prefer something plainer.

There’s nothing wrong with it, but I’m not a huge fan

aliensprig My cat Hugo is actually names after Hugo Lloris!

I love it.

I think Vicar of Dibley.
