Re: Viggo vs Hugo
in reply to a message by Katrine
Hugo has a lovely meaning. My top association is a piteous orphan living in the walls of a train station.
Viggo is Old Norse for "war," so it has an ancient warrior vibe. It sounds like the name of someone Beowulf would have encountered while visiting the Danes or a side character in "The 13th Warrior." He would be the old warrior that survived a hundred battles and now dispenses advice to the next generation.
Both names have strong points. I prefer the sound of Viggo. Although I really like the meaning of Hugo, the sound is just okay to me.
