HelpRe: Hugo
in reply to a message by SJayne
It seems very "euro-chic" to me on someone in the US. It makes me think of Hugo Boss, which doesn't make me think of Nazis, it just gives me an image of the fashion industry ... hyperwealth, narcissism, and ostentation. Yuck. I don't like the sound of it either - HYEWGH-oh.
Sorry. I don't think all that baggage would fall on the head of a kid named Hugo but if I met a young Hugo who I knew came from here, today, I'd have a slight "gimme a break!" reaction at first and then I'd just not enjoy saying the name out loud.
If his fam actually was from Europe I don't think I'd react at all - I might not even bother to notice that I don't like the sound of it.
