Re: Hugo
I adore the name Hugo. It used to make me think of the word "huge" a bit too. I never cared for it much until after the last Harry Potter book came out. (Yep, here I go mentioning HP again.) Much as I didn't particularly care for the epilogue, it did put Hugo on my radar, and I eventually came to really like the name. I could definitely see it on a little boy and the right teen, but it gets a bit fuzzier trying to picture an adult pulling it off. Hm...this is the first time I've tried to picture the name at different ages, and it disappoints me that I'm having trouble with some.

Haha the name started to grow on my after Harry Potter too, don't worry you're not alone. I can see it on an adult. I think with LOST there was a character called Harley and I always thought his name was Hugo for some reason. I only ever wactched a few episodes so I can't even remember what he was called exactly

*high fives*It was Hurley. I thought of him when I posted yesterday. I was pretty sure his name was Hugo too, so I looked it up. Hugo is the character's given name, but he goes by Hurley. I didn't really watch the show either. Anyway, that was my only image of a grown up with the name, so I didn't really count it. The name doesn't sound juvenile by any means, so I'm not sure why I have trouble picturing someone. Hrm.
