If my two year old had been a boy I would have used Hugh. I really love this name. It's not overly used! Plus, there are some great actors with that name and I admire them for their craft immensely. It does have a breathy sound, and sometimes it sounds like you are saying YOU. Plus, when he is a baby, people will call him "Baby Hughie". But I still adore it!

It's a nice name. But yeah, I guess it's better for it to be avoided if the last name starts with "J" ('cause of silly "huge" jokes). Other than that, "Hugh" has a good meaning and sounds okay. (:

The famous bearers that are mentioned: Hugh Capet, and the Kings of Jerusalem and Cyprus were actually spelled by them as Hughett and Hughet. The French Huguenots knew the king Capet with a ett on the end of the name. If you read the book "Templar of Trye" which was written in Latin at the time the Hughs were in power in Jerusalem they spelled their names as Hughet. Hugh is just a short pronunciation of Hughett.

I never did like the sound of this name. If you're going to use it, make sure your surname isn't Johnson, James, or anything that starts with a J or the 'jee'-sound. If your surname starts with those sounds, there will be ''huge ___'' jokes.
