Help - baby name decision needed

Hi all,

I have a little boy called Theo and am due baby number 2 very soon. I can’t decide between the following boys names:

Hugo - is it too matchy matchy with Theo? Two similar?
Oscar - does it sound weird and would I regret it?

please, I would love to hear your thoughts!!

Both lovely names, I do agree Hugo is a bit too similar to Theo so that just from those two options I would pick Oscar.

Thank you so much! My mother is telling me Hugo and Theo sound good together but not sure if I can get over the matchiness!

We have a theo and my husband is trying to convince me on the name Leo 😂

Hugo is too similar to Theo.

Oscar is lovely.

Awww. ❤️I have a 20 year old Theo! My other son is Alec.
I think Hugo and Oscar are both lovely with Theo.
I used to, many moons ago, live near siblings Theo, Otis, and Rex who are all young men now.
Also lived near Theo and Angus, again siblings.
I always thought Alasdair and Theo sounds lovely together.
Also Atticus, Axel, Magnus, Edgar

Yes I do love the name Alasdair too! But will inevitably get shortened and don’t love the abbreviations
thanks for the suggestions!!

what about Max?!

Oscar is lovely.

Thank you!!
just worried I might regret Oscar in years to come. To me it’s a classical name, I live in a small town and think people will think it’s strange!!

I love Hugo and I don’t think it’s too similar.
Oscar is nice too, I don’t think people will find it strange.
wait to see the baby and then decide. You might choose another name! Like me.

I like Oscar and have taught a few over the years - not many, but enough to make it not really unusual.

Craftybodger · 20/10/2022 19:37

Hugo would be my choice but I think it’s too similar to Theo.

I’m not so keen on Oscar.

Max is great, I also love the name Isaac.

What about Theo and Hugh..so no o ending

Daisychainsx · 20/10/2022 19:58

Theyre both lovely names, my dog is named Oscar (not because I think it's a dogs name, just because I got him 12 years ago and didn't have any kids on the horizon), but if it wasn't for that I'd have considered it for my little boy! My cousin has a toddler named Oscar and everyone thinks it's lovely🥰
I also love Milo. Milo and Theo 😍

Barleysugar86 · 20/10/2022 19:59

Oscar is much better in my opinion with Theo (and Hugo is so over used!)

MsMcGonagall · 20/10/2022 20:03

Max is perfect!

Otherwise Oscar

EverydayIsPJday · 20/10/2022 20:54

I have an Oscar who has just turned 5 and he is fabulous 🤩 so that gets my vote! (Although Theo and Hugo doesn't sound wierd either 😂)

RuthW · 20/10/2022 21:01

Hugo is too similar Oscar is lovely. More popular than Hugo but not ever so popular.

PrioritiseCalm · 20/10/2022 21:02

Theo and Oscar sound fab.

Irishgal001 · 04/11/2022 18:17

Thanks everyone for your opinions!! Great to read them ❤️

I like Hugo but it may be too similar to Theo. How about Huw or Hugh?
