Love the meaning and the name. There's a kind of quiet strength to it. Saying "hey, Hugh!" sounds a lot like "hey you!" which could be annoying.

Way better than Huw.

I think this name is very gentleman-like. I can easily picture a British lord by this name.

I like the meaning and the name in theory, but not the sound (breathy) and not how it rhymes with "phew".

No offense but I think of an old farmer when I hear this name.

Lovely name. Very established and refined in my opinion, but can also be casual.

I never did like the sound of this name. If you're going to use it, make sure your surname isn't Johnson, James, or anything that starts with a J or the 'jee'-sound. If your surname starts with those sounds, there will be ''huge ___'' jokes.

This name sounds rather bland, and it unfortunately makes me think of Hugh Hefner.

I think this is one of those names that are masculine but still "sensitive" sounding. I would consider using it as a middle name because it's a traditional name in my family.

Hugh Dennis. The knuckly man.
