What does everyone think of these names

[Rosbo]

Carmen for a girl
and Hugh for a boy?

I like Carmen - used to work for one and she had a C called Carmen too.

Not so keen on Hugh. Every Hugh I have known has been called Huge.

Don't really like Carmen, and HATE Hugh. Romilly Smith sounds good though

Carmen is nice, Hugh is a middle aged bloke with a paunch. Works in the tax office.

I wouldn't get too hung up on the 'does it sit with the surname' stuff, becasue chances are when she is older she will marry and change her name anyway and you won't be able to take every possible future surname into account when choosing her first name.Personally, I think Romy or Romilly are much prettier than Carmen. Not overkeen on Hugh, but as long as YOU are comfortable with it, you shouldn't worry what anyone else thinks. Good Luck.

love them both, went to university with a Carmen - lovely name,

Hugh is very cool
or Hugo

I really like Romilly but doesn't go with our surname

Carmen and Hugh are nice but don't have the wow factor for me although not much does TBH which s why I struggle with baby names.

What's wrong with Romy Smith? (I think you do have to give thought to the 'does it sit with the surname' stuff, because before she reaches marriageable age she has to navigate school with some measure of dignity and self-esteem intact... but I can't for the life of me see anything wrong with "Romy Smith")

Carmen Smith is nice.

Hugh Smith seems a bit short and choppy. What about Hugo Smith?

Love Carmen, and Carmel. I also like Romy. (But Romilly is fab) Hugh, er...no. Just can't imagine a baby called Hugh...
