Myles, Ellis or Hugo?

Can I please have your opinions on these names?

My favourite is Hugo but worried it may be a bit trendy? My second choice would be Myles.
His Favourite is Ellis.

These are pretty much the only 3 we both like.

Middle name Charles or possibly Charlie.

Can I be unhelpful and say I like Charles? Second best to me is Hugo.

EdinaMonsoon · 16/07/2021 20:04

I like them all but Myles just edges ahead of the others.

santabetterwashhishands · 16/07/2021 20:06

My order would be Hugo then Myles I'm not keen on the other x

Suziebee86 · 16/07/2021 20:06

@Unsure1983 I actually really like the name Charles, but don't want him nicknamed Charlie so that's out.

I only like Charlie from the names you have mentioned

Uramaki · 16/07/2021 20:35

Hugo
Then Myles

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 16/07/2021 23:36

It's a shame you don't want to risk Charlie as Charles is lovely imo - so classic and timeless (I love it with nn Cal personally, if he wants a nn). I'm not keen on your other choices, they feel/look too trendy for me, sorry. I do like Hugh instead of Hugo though (which probably gives you an idea of my taste in boys names Grin).

DramaAlpaca · 16/07/2021 23:38

Of the three, Myles.

But Myles Charles doesn't work.

Comedycook · 16/07/2021 23:39

Hugo and Ellis are nice.

Myles is awful imo

Suziebee86 · 17/07/2021 17:57

@DramaAlpaca that's my thoughts too, so if I went with Myles, I'd probably have Myles Charlie.

Charles and Charlie are family names, I really don't like Charlie, but I could probably use it as a middle name.
I actually have no idea what to call him.

Hugo then Ellis.
Miles only if spelled with an i.

StepladderToHeaven · 17/07/2021 18:01

I like Miles (spelt with an i) best.
Then Ellis.
Not keen on Hugo.

Garfunkle · 17/07/2021 18:19

Ellis for me. Closely followed by Charlie.

Hugo is a popular dogs name here.

Myles is awful (sorry 😕 💐)

eccecc · 17/07/2021 18:28

Ellis.
You could go for Charles. My mum is a Catherine and she's never gone by a nickname despite the possibilities.

hopingforabrighterfuture2021 · 17/07/2021 19:47

Definitely Hugo!

TatianaBis · 17/07/2021 20:10

Loathe Ellis and I think it will date terribly.

Hugo, Miles, Charles are all equal to me. (Don’t like the y spelling).

TatianaBis · 17/07/2021 20:10

On balance I prefer Hugo to the other too.

TatianaBis · 17/07/2021 20:10

two ^

TatianaBis · 17/07/2021 20:11

Also Ellis is a girls’ name to me. Ellis Peters.

Polly271220 · 17/07/2021 20:15

Ellis Charles

MondeoFan · 17/07/2021 20:38

Ellis
Miles

Hugo - NO

sorryforswearing · 17/07/2021 20:56

Miles/Myles is best but it doesn’t flow with Charles and I don’t like shortened names on the birth certificate.
Ellis next but I really dislike Hugo. They both work with Charles though.

At the end of the day it’s just personal taste.

ThatsNicePet · 17/07/2021 20:58

Mylo Charles?

TatianaBis · 17/07/2021 21:10

Yes I much prefer Mylo.

Mylo Charles
Hugo Charles

Both work well.

NessieMcNessface · 17/07/2021 21:21

Hugo is lovely.
