Help[Opinions] Re: Hugh, Hugo and Hubert?
in reply to a message by Ylva
These names are definitely not popular in the US. If I had to guess, I'd say only Hugh was ever what you might even call common, and that was quite some time ago.
Hubert strikes me as comical for some reason. A big fat wise-cracking guy. I did used to think it would be fun to have some farmyard pet, like a pig or goat and call him Hubert.
Hugo has sort of a sinister cast to it, like a villain.
As for Hugh, I can see using it as a mn, but it just seems so thin and wispy, like blowing out a candle.
Oh, the original Welsh spelling is Huw. I know a man named Huw. He's Canadian, not Welsh. But the funny part is that his last name is Hughes. Which brings to mind the following tongue-twister:
In Huron, a hewer, Hugh Hughes, usually hewed a few new yews of unusual hues for you. lol
