The final 4: Jack, Alfred, Harry or Hugo?

[cheesebubble]

I'm nearly 37 weeks pregnant and we've finally nailed it down to 4 names:

• Jack
• Alfred (husband likes Alfie)
• Hugo (we won't be naming him Hugh)
• Harry (I prefer Henry but no from husband)

I'm German so the names have to work in both languages. Big bro is Louis, pronounced Louie.

What are your thoughts mumsnet? X

You’ve chosen 2 top 10 names and 2 top 50. What is there to choose? All very popular, safe bets.

Personally I’d look at the scan photo again and see what your baby looks most like to you. I could tell what mine would be like and his name matches him.

I love them all! Louis and Hugo are cute together.
But I'm also a fan of Jack.
Louis and Alfie are a bit too much 'ee'?
Same with Harry??

So I'd go Hugo I think. Congrats, not long now!!

Hugo.

Definitely Jack

Jack Alfred sounds very nice

I'd choose Jack

I really love Jack.

And Harry is pretty great too!

@Thewinterofdiscontent There is still 4 names even if those were the top 4, we have to choose given that you asked what there is to choose.

Picture of my 2 boys in the womb attached, looking pretty similar in my opinion but looking at that picture, I don't feel like I know what to name him, it might come to me once he's arrived.

Harry

Jack as long as your last name is more than one syllable

Alfred, after the great English King.

Harry

Nothing wrong with a safe bet ! No need to come up with something weird for the sake of it . My son has one of those names and he really suits it . All great names for boys and grown up men too

@Dontforgetyourbrolly thanks for saying that!

I like Harry. I think it goes well with Louie.

Jack or Hugo.
Lovely choices!

Harry and Louis are 2 princes right now. Risky having Louis and Hughie if Hugo was amended!
Louis and Jack is my choice.

I have a teenager called Jack and I still love his name ! Considering it was the number 1 boys name for ages I have only ever met a handful . It’s a name that suits both a boy and a man .
On this basis I say Jack .

Yes agree nothing wrong with a safe solid name.

Jack

Jack and Harry : classes but hugely common. Alfie also hugely common in this wave of old-fashioned names being revived. It's very ' Towie'
( also a very popular dog's name. Hugo only works if you are 'posh' I'd go with Harry.

Alfred works best in German!

Hugo sounds nice in German but the English pronunciation is not so nice (Heeeeooo--go). I'm not keen.

I also prefer Henry to Harry.

Jack or Harry. My 2 are called Jack and Harry, so can’t choose one as love them both

cheesebubble He’s adorable!

I just meant that all those names represent the same thing. Solid, old school but currently very popular, MC British boys names. I’m not sure anyone could have a strong opinion one way or another between them?

I think Hugo and Louis go well although there is a possibility of them being called Hughie and Louis which you may or may not like.
I like Jack as my grandad and numerous uncles were Jacks (and Alfreds).
Alfred can be called Alfie, Fred or Al if you are still undecided when he arrives.

Hugo goes nicely with Louis and works in both English and German.

I love Hugo but OH vetoed it.

OH is Henry but known as Harry. He's only known as Henry at work sometimes and on paperwork. Could that work?
