Hugh

I never had an opinion about this name until I met someone named Hugh. I actually love that it sounds like "Hue"... the person I know is so radiant it's the perfect name for him.

So ugly. The "ugh" stands out so much, it's literally an expression of disgust.

I love it.

Not much in it.

I like Hugh but I cannot picture it on anyone younger than 45. It just doesn't seem right. Hugh reminds me of Hugh Jackman. A nice soft name for a boy.

I don't love it as a first name (Sounds like Who? Or even "Huge")
I really like it as a middle name though, Alexander Hugh or Nicholas Hugh would be nice.

I love this name! I am planning my on naming my son James Hugh.

The meaning of this name is beautiful and unexpected.

If my two year old had been a boy I would have used Hugh. I really love this name. It's not overly used! Plus, there are some great actors with that name and I admire them for their craft immensely. It does have a breathy sound, and sometimes it sounds like you are saying YOU. Plus, when he is a baby, people will call him "Baby Hughie". But I still adore it!

My great-grandfather's name was Hugh, and I actually really like this name. It is short, yet dignified. Plus it isn't very common.

Not a fan of this name.

It's a nice name. But yeah, I guess it's better for it to be avoided if the last name starts with "J" ('cause of silly "huge" jokes). Other than that, "Hugh" has a good meaning and sounds okay. (:

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.

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

It's quite hard to pronounce.

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.

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

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

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

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

Way better than Huw.

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.
