Thoughts? Brother to Victoria.

100% Hunter

Of the 3, only Hugo is ok imo, although with Victoria it's a bit Victor Hugo.
Pp there was a very long thread some years ago re what Hugo was short for. V amusing read.

Can’t think of Hunter without thinking of this guy

Hugo, Humphrey or Hutch?
PainterMummy · 13/02/2022 13:54

Victoria is a red herring. Doesn’t matter what other child’s name as as king as it’s not one you’re considering.

Hutch is just bizarre. Either two just fine. (FYI - hutch is also a piece of furniture.)

I love Humphrey because every Humphrey I've ever met has been handsome or brilliant or witty or all three. Never met a dud one. It's a name you just have to rise to!

HandWash · 13/02/2022 14:12

Hugo- I like

Humphrey- I think is quite an ugly name and is too similar to 'hump'. "Have you got the Humphrey?"

Hutch- Confused

TabithaTittlemouse · 13/02/2022 14:16

I think I prefer hutch to hunter!

Hugo is the best of a not so fabulous bunch. I do know a couple of twenty something Hugo’s who really suit the name.

I love this idea!

TenThousandSpoons · 13/02/2022 14:22

I also prefer Hutch to Hunter.
Humphrey is a lovely name…for a hamster.
Hugo I guess is the best of the bunch but I prefer Henry or Harry.

StopForAMinute · 13/02/2022 14:22

Hugo.

ofwarren · 13/02/2022 14:24

Hugo is my favourite

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 13/02/2022 14:25

Humphrey is a great name but would take some living up to.

Hugo is OK. I also like Hugh. Is Hubert due a revival? Not that I'm all that keen on it, but it starts with H and is a classic name. Ditto Herbert.

Not all that keen on Hunter and don't feel it goes well with Victoria. Not the same style of name at all.

Henry or Harry?

Cissyandflora · 13/02/2022 14:27

Hugo is the least offensive. Humphrey is awful.

cheapskatemum · 13/02/2022 14:33

Definitely not Hutch. I always preferred Starsky, but I wouldn't name a child that either.

Hugo or Humphrey are fine. I doubt there's many others who remember the advert, "Watch out, watch out, watch out. There's a Humphrey about."

cheapskatemum · 13/02/2022 14:38

Ah, sorry I see you meant Hunter. I still prefer the 1st 2. My parents were Humphrey Lyttleton fans.

dizzydizzydizzy · 13/02/2022 16:07

Hugo or Humphrey - Out of the 2 I personally prefer Hugo but probably only because it sounds less old fashioned.

Hunter - hmmmm.... common surname. Sounds American as a first name

Hutch - lol!

woodhill · 13/02/2022 16:09

Starsky

Hutch is a surname or where rabbits live

GucciBear · 13/02/2022 16:10

Love Hugo. Quite like Humphrey. Hutch?? Are you expecting a child or a rabbit............................................

woodhill · 13/02/2022 16:10

Humphrey was in Hickory House - really showing my age

Soffit · 13/02/2022 16:11

Hutch .. oh go on, you suggested it yourself so you must like it!

CrackerGal · 13/02/2022 16:13

I like Hutch, never heard it before.

MinglingFlamingo · 13/02/2022 16:37

Hugo
Humphrey
Hutch- is awful please don't

MinglingFlamingo · 13/02/2022 16:38

Oh hunter??? Errrr it's ok but still prefer Hugo and Humphrey

Ncwinc · 13/02/2022 16:40

Hugo is great
Humphrey is ok
Hunter? No.

TheAbbotOfUnreason · 13/02/2022 16:45

Humphrey - overweight elderly Labrador with a wind problem.

Hunter - always makes me think of Gladiators.

Hugo - definitely the best of the bunch.
