Hugo or George?

Just that really! Between the two, and unsure which to pick. Both have some family significance for us.

Love that they are both short, classic, and straightforward.

(Please don’t worry too much about popularity: neither name is popular at all where we live).

… I think Hugo is a bit fussy. I like Hugh though.

Hugo. George is too royalist for my Republican taste.

Ha, it seems like the 50/50 responses might not help the decision making, but good to know both are equally liked!

@ClassicLib I’m surprised George feels royalist to you! I’m always reminded that it means “farmer” which feels very down-to-earth 😆

George, definitely! I always think Hugo is very posh - not that it matters - but George could be anybody. I quite like that.

Glitterstars · 02/04/2023 18:46

Hugo but I am biased ha

Flev · 02/04/2023 18:53

George for me - Hugo sounds a bit too upper class/posh for my liking

cptartapp · 02/04/2023 18:56

George.
Don't like Hugo at all.

TomatoSandwiches · 02/04/2023 18:57

Hugo is just a smidge more special imo than George although I do like both names.

ComeTheFuckOnBridgett · 02/04/2023 18:58

George. Hate Hugo.

LicoriceComfit · 02/04/2023 18:58

Hugo

Vexxa · 02/04/2023 19:00

Can't believe you've posted this - I've also been debating between these two names all day! 😀

PurpleReindeer2 · 02/04/2023 19:00

George. Don't like Hugo, sorry.

Spidey66 · 02/04/2023 19:03

George x100. I don't like Hugo. George is a good, solid name

ChronicallyMyself · 02/04/2023 19:09

Hugo!

EggyBreads · 02/04/2023 19:10

Hugo! There's a million George’s around.

ChronicallyMyself · 02/04/2023 19:11

May I recommend the movie Hugo (2011) to help you make up your mind. Beautiful.

Saucepot1985 · 02/04/2023 19:14

George

George is my little boys name and was always number one x

Groutyonehereagain · 02/04/2023 19:15
