Stanley or Hugo?

We still can't agree on a boys name. DH likes both of these - what do you think? I know Hugo is a bit posh but if it is DS he will be a public school boy anyway so it might work???

Surname is Johnson and will be brother to Charles.

Stanley Johnson is Bo-Jo's dad.

You can't name your son after the man who sired that.

Stanley. Good name.

Paddington - DH actually thinks that calling our DS Boris would be 'fun'. I feel Stanley is probably the lesser evil . . .

Hugo, reminds me of Hurley from Lost

Stanley. Hugo is so posh it's pretty off-the-scale & sounds very aspirational IMHO. Oh, and I've known a few Hugos who were total numpties...

thumbwitch · 12/01/2009 13:42

HUGO! I love Hugo. Not Stanley.

bluebump · 12/01/2009 13:49

I love Hugo, I wanted a Hugo and DP said no!

BonsoirAnna · 12/01/2009 13:50

Stanislas (shortened to Stan) is much, much nicer than Stanley.

Hugo is a lovely name.
