Which one for Baby Boy (he’s three weeks- it’s desperate times)

[MegRo]

Walter or Hugo?

I love Walter- it’s so classic and lovely. I can see and handsome man being Walter. But is it too much for a baby or little boy? (Husband loves it and is pushing for it). I’ve heard all the ‘connotations’ for Walter and am not bothered by them.

Hugo- again, a lovely, strong handsome name.

Which do we go for? Our boy has white blonde hair , blue eyes and is oh so beautiful!

Walter. I know a baby Walter

Hugo.

Hugh is nicer than Hugo imo.

Not keen on Walter. Walt is nice.

Walter!
Hugo is everywhere.

Please choose Walter!

It's a great strong classic name that's much more memorable than Hugo. You and your dh love it and appear to prefer it.

Hugo is often described as 'posh' or 'bafoony' and it's not as classy mo.

Hugo

Walter is the softie from The Beano, and Walter Mittie is not a great association, especially as 'walt hunting' is the name given to the exposure on conmen and women posing as military

Hugo.

Walter is just awful.

Walter makes ne think of warts for some reason. Go with Hugo

Both lovely but I prefer Hugo :)

If you prefer Walter for him as an adult go for Walter. They're only babies for such a short time, you've got to go for a name that will last a lifetime.

I dislike Walter but if you love it then go for it. Hugo is a bit meh. I teach a few.

For what it's worth kids don't really take the piss out of names (and I teach some rare ones!)

Walter. Hugo is probably more popular than you think

A vote for Walter from me, its such a gentleman's name, less keen on Hugo as its a bit overused atm

Hugo is pretty commonly used now. Walter (Walt) is growing on me the more I sit and think about it.

Walter is my son’s middle name

Soneone upthread mentioned the pleasure you get from your childs name if you truly love it, bear this in mind, you shouldn't need to "feel brave" about a name, you just need to love it.

Op, sounds like you and your dh really love Walter! Go for it. It is a gentleman's name as someone mentioned earlier.

Walter ❤️

I can’t get on board with the name Hugo, I like walter and it’s more refreshing.

You both love Walter. Just go for it.

Congratulations on your new LO

Hugo
Walter is just too ''wally'' for me.

Hugo
I like Walt more than Walter

Congratulations!

I know you’re running out of time but I’d be going back to the drawing board.
Walter is really not good and Hugo is dumb posh boy although marginally better than Walter.

Walter is such an ugly name. It makes me think of a geeky nerd. Like Walter Brown in the Beano.
