Hugh

The pronunciation isn’t pleasant and the spelling also isn’t very pleasant to look at.

I've always liked the name Hugh. It sounds classy, handsome, and strong yet gentle at the same time. I think it is a great name that is timeless and ages well.

I never had an opinion about this name until I met someone named Hugh. I actually love that it sounds like "Hue"... the person I know is so radiant it's the perfect name for him.

So ugly. The "ugh" stands out so much, it's literally an expression of disgust.

I love it.

Not much in it.

I like Hugh but I cannot picture it on anyone younger than 45. It just doesn't seem right. Hugh reminds me of Hugh Jackman. A nice soft name for a boy.

I don't love it as a first name (Sounds like Who? Or even "Huge")
I really like it as a middle name though, Alexander Hugh or Nicholas Hugh would be nice.

I love this name! I am planning my on naming my son James Hugh.

The meaning of this name is beautiful and unexpected.

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!

My great-grandfather's name was Hugh, and I actually really like this name. It is short, yet dignified. Plus it isn't very common.

Not a fan of this name.

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. (:

I think this is one of those names that are masculine but still "sensitive" sounding. I would consider using it as a middle name because it's a traditional name in my family.

This name sounds rather bland, and it unfortunately makes me think of Hugh Hefner.

It's quite hard to pronounce.

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.

Lovely name. Very established and refined in my opinion, but can also be casual.

No offense but I think of an old farmer when I hear this name.

I like the meaning and the name in theory, but not the sound (breathy) and not how it rhymes with "phew".

I think this name is very gentleman-like. I can easily picture a British lord by this name.

Way better than Huw.

Love the meaning and the name. There's a kind of quiet strength to it. Saying "hey, Hugh!" sounds a lot like "hey you!" which could be annoying.
