Help[Opinions] Re: Hubert
in reply to a message by Fiammetta
I think I actually prefer Norbert and Cuthbert.
But I'd prefer it to Humbert and maybe Lambert.
In theory, it shouldn't seem that different from Hugh and Albert, but hyoob doesn't sound great to me, and my main associations are Pubert Addams and the word hubris.
It seems like it was relatively popular in the US in the 1900s (in the top 500s up through about 1970 and charted until 1987), but I've never come across one. I'm more used to seeing Herbert.
