Hugh is my little brother's name. Before he was born me and my older brother begged that he not be named
Hugh, the other options being
George or
Peter, because we were sure he'd be teased (if not by his peers but certainly by his older siblings). Turns out the name really suits him and he has NEVER been teased for his name. We call him
Shug or Shuggie most of the time which my mum completely despises but that's really her fault for choosing
Hugh.
I now like the name, it's got quite a bold yet sophisticated feel, plus it's not over used but it's well known enough that people don't get confused with the pronunciation or spelling. Although, I would only use it as a mn myself if I wanted to honour my brother.
