Views on Hugh please

[Smilewearingthin]

Struggling to find a boys name ... what does anyone think of Hugh? For some reason, my mother feels it is 'very aristocratic', and we're not!

Don't like Hugh but almost cose Hugo for dc3 but she's a she so we didn't

Reminds me of "calling for Hugh", which is navel slang for throwing up. Sorry.

I love it, for other people. Dh was very keen to use it for ds2, but I rejected it because it is my feckless brother's middle name.

hugh - grant - blowjob - hooker

whwnever I think Hugh, I think of Hugh Grant with tht mugshot pic

Hugh makes me think of Welsh sheep farmers for some reason ..

I love the name Hugh. My sister's other half is a Hugh and he is a lovely Cambridge educated, doctor who is brilliant with children, old people, dogs, directions, everything. And he is very handsome.

My nephew is called Huw and he totally suits it. Gorgeous.

I must admit there have been several wonderful pronounciations of his name including 'Q', 'shoe' and 'who'. all of which he has found quite funny.

I must admit, he does occasionally wear Boden, but he goes to a regular state school!

I like Hugh - its a simple, classic, masculine sounding name that won't need to be abbreviated!

My DS1 is Gregory Huw. We liked the Welsh spelling and he has Welsh blood.

It does rhyme with a lot though.

He gets called Gregoroo quite a lot as he's very bouncy!

Also Gregory Huwdini as he's an escape artist.

Then there are the obvious ones loo, poo etc.

I still love the name and wouldn't change it for the world!

its nice and strong..if our dc3 is a boy we are seriously considering it...he will need something strong so hes not lost amongst his big brothers

I have a 4 yr old Hugo and he is a mustard cord, wax jacket wearing child but so is his father so we had no hope but I think its such a cool name. He is called Hughie most of the time though.

I have a Hugh as well and have posted on here before about the pros and cons if you do a search. I take on board the mispronunciations, we have had the Q thing but still love the name. Mine is 2 and a half and I have not met another one but do know a few Hugos.

He gets called Hughie most of the time but also Hubert, Hubes, Hugs, Houston when we are being silly.

Expecting another bubs over Christmas so now just need a nice name to accompany Hughie.

Hugh is nice. We've got a new family member who is Huey.

My ds2 is a Hugh. His friends call him Hughie. No-one has ever called him a rude name!

He's cute. His name's cute. It's all good

I have a Hugh, same name as my late brother, and it is a very good name . Oddly, my brother was Hughie and DS1 is Hughsie.

Hugo (pronounced without the H and the U sounds more like an O) is Spanish for Hugh. DS1 does have to repeat his name a lot but it doesn't seem to bother him.

Thank you all for all the comments. Over the last few days, I've really grown to like the name ... so it's on the list
