Do these brothers names sound a bit.... uppity?

[PSL1990]

Hugo and Francis

They’re fine names as long as they are always dressed in tweed and learn to shoot from a young age.

Love them. They definitely sound more middle class but as long as they would fit that it’s fine and not “uppity” at all.

They are both good, solid, strong names.

Also, neither of them end in 'ie' so that's another major plus for me.

No, not at all.

As long as you don't have another one called Quentin I think you're ok

I know boy/girl siblings called Hugo and Frances. They mostly go by Huggy and Frankie and are not uppity at all.

They’re fine.

Like them!

A little bit.

I prefer Hugh to Hugo and Francis to me is a bit too close to Frances but I don’t think ‘uppity’ is a problem, it just depends on where you live and who your friends are :)

Sound like boring dull cartoon character names

Great names! Absolute classics that aren’t overly used

Your little boy will be lovely whatever he's named. If you r moving in more middle class spheres, the names are fine as many names of this type but if not then if he's a bit sensitive, could be a target for banter etc ... just as names like Blaze etc may come in for banter in their own way in middle class schools .

Love Hugo, hate Francis.

There was a Francis thread recently. Very marmite.

I find it so sneery and just not a good boy name at all. Horrid mix of wet and supercilious at the same time.

I love Francis. It's a family name and instead of wet and supercilious I hear strong but gentle. Lovely names.

They do both sound a bit upper middle class, but in a friendly sort of way.

I grew up knowing a few boys named Francis. I don't like the name at all. It seems 'wet' and definitely not in any way uppity, its a very normal and perhaps nearer the opposite of uppity. It is a name I haven't heard since I left school until very recently when I came across a little Polish boy named Francis. It has very strong Catholic associations and perhaps the pope Francis has made the name more popular?

I also dislike Hugo as it seems very pretentious to my ears. I don't think it 'is' pretentious but I would view the parents of a boy named Hugo as very aspirational. I think Hugh is a great name.

Every Francis I know gets called Frank or Frankie.

Nice names and not too common. I say go for it.

What about Proudlock?

Love Hugo
Don’t like Francis

How about Rupert? It’s not just a posh name anymore

They’re not exactly working class names, tbf! I think they’re great names though.

The little Rupert I know lives on a council estate. Honestly working class people (like me) have adopted these names (Hugo etc) just like they did with Jack Wills clothes and Burberry! I love that these names can be used by anyone now @FriedasCarLoad

They are quite made in Chelsea but I like them. I actually think Hugo on its own in amazing. Francis I like less as it feels a bit weak to me, but together they sound good.

Not at all.
Two lovely and versatile names. At least imo.
