I wouldn't say they went together as having the same style/vibe.

For example, Francis often gets Frank or Frankie as a nn, so do you think Hugo and Frank go together?

Hugo and Felix, or Hugo and Marcus, or Hugo and Jolyon go together better than Francis.

But, for most of their lives they won't be a "pair" they will be individual adults, so how important is a matching set of names?

I think they pair well together- they aren’t too matchy like Noah and Jonah for example, but not totally different “feels”.

My dc’s names are very very different in terms of origin and 9 times out of 10 when we introduce them I can see a flicker behind people’s eyes of “What the fuck, those names DO NOT GO!” 😂

I think they are very similar in style & pair well together for brothers.

MissHenty · 27/10/2019 21:53

I think they work really well together. Gorgeous names

Sounds like lead characters in Made in Chelsea

MyKingdomForBrie · 28/10/2019 00:20

That's because they are lead characters in MIC! Grin

I think they work fine for brothers.

I like Hugo but don't like Francis, however I do think they work well together

IckleBear · 28/10/2019 16:19

I also like Hugo, not Francis but think they're fine together.

MileyWiley · 28/10/2019 16:24

Hugo is ok, Francis not so much,

Camomila · 28/10/2019 16:27

I think they are both lovely, apart from I don't like the nn Frank - but not all of them use it.

Thenamedame · 28/10/2019 17:00

I think Hugo and his brother Frank sound adorable

Mamagunner · 28/10/2019 17:18

I like Hugo but not so much Francis but I think they are a similar vibe and pair nicely

daisypond · 28/10/2019 19:25

Very similar in style and vibe. They’re a good pair.

Lou2120 · 28/10/2019 21:44

I think they go well together

FizzyGreenWater · 29/10/2019 16:40

ooh no, Hugo is so lovely and friendly and Francis so sneering. Really dislike that name!

Hugo goes better with Felix, Barnaby, Kit, Rory. It's quite posh, but less so nowadays and really lovely.

I adore Francis and I really like Hugo but I'm not sure about them together.
