@woodhill

Humphrey was in Hickory House - really showing my age
My Humphrey reference is Yes Minister.

I agree with others:
I'm not keen on Hugo, but it would be ok
Hunter is too different in style to Victoria
Humphrey is a nice name for a young boy, but they might not like it when older
What about Henry or Hamish if you like 'H' names?

Mine was a cushion type object which talked

I'm sorry but Hutch is truly awful, I mean think about it, would you want to grow up called Hutch?

I considered Humphrey when pregnant with dc2. I love it, but I realised that it would not be an easy name to grow up with so struck it off the list

Hugo is nice enough, just not my style. It sounds nice with Victoria

If you like H names have you considered

Henry
Henrik
Hendrix
Hewitt
Hollis

Hugo - too 1990s
Hutch - what a rabbit lives in
Prefer Humphrey

turnaroundtime · 13/02/2022 17:48

Oh I see, Hunter not Hutch. Nah, too try hard. Humph is cool.

Hugo

DuckonaBike · 13/02/2022 17:57

@riotlady

I like Hugo, but what’s it short for?
I remember that thread, it was very funny!

Hugoes there
Hugo your way and I’ll go mine

And many others that I have forgotten.

WaitinginVain · 13/02/2022 18:06

Hugo is quite nice and goes best with Victoria.

I also quite like Hunter but it's a very different name.

I wouldn't usually comment to say something is awful but Humphrey is.

hellcatspangle · 13/02/2022 18:21

Hunter will just make people think of him out of gladiators (well people over a certain age anyway) Humphrey is pretty awful too. Hugo all the way.

SpikeySmooth · 13/02/2022 18:25

The least worst is Hugo.

Humphrey is terrible.
Hunter is also terrible.

Luredbyapomegranate · 13/02/2022 20:12

@SausageRoll2020

Hugo is a nice name. Humphrey I'm not keen on but it's a name. Hutch is what a rabbit lives in.
Exactly
ProperVexed · 13/02/2022 20:15

Hugo is superb!
Humphrey is wet.
Hutch...would rather have Starsky.
Hunter...American...awful.

CherryDocsInYrBalls · 13/02/2022 20:24

Humphrey. The head in Ghosts is called Humphrey.

Theonlyoneiknow · 13/02/2022 20:27

Hugo if has to be an H name I prefer Hector or Hunter

woodhill · 13/02/2022 20:30

@CherryDocsInYrBalls

Humphrey. The head in Ghosts is called Humphrey.
Yes, look what happened to him😀
georgarina · 13/02/2022 22:57

Hugo!

Humphrey really puts me off (sorry!) and Hutch sounds incomplete, like it should be short for something

Ellmau · 13/02/2022 23:47

I love Hugo.

Showing my age but this is what I think about when I hear the name Humphrey: www.campaignlive.co.uk/article/49-humphreys/1161672 (It wouldn't affect your DC though.)

Hutch is just no.

Ellmau · 13/02/2022 23:48

Oh, I see it's Hunter, not Hutch. Still not keen, tbh, but not as bad as Hutch :) It feels very American.

Lockdownbear · 13/02/2022 23:55

Hugo

Was Humphrey not a toy in Playschool? I'm sure I remember it from kids 1970s telly.

Hunter - not convinced by it. Its sounds like a surname

oncemoreunto · 13/02/2022 23:57

I think Hunter might actually be worse than Hutch.

Hugo is pleasant and mainstream.

Humphrey is quirkier, I like it but others won't.

Lockdownbear · 14/02/2022 00:09

I think Humphrey will end up getting shortened to Hump, Humf or Rey.

If that influences your decision

Or could be Free?

Hugo is Victoria’s sibling I think.

It is a good strong name.
