Personal experiences with the name Hugo

My dear little brother is called Hugo; both he and the name are trully charming. I cannot help but smile at the little man, really quite content with his name, he tells all of it. It may be a rare name, but it's cheerful and happy, and trully prefect. His middle name is Walter.

I am due with twins in November, and little baby b is going to be named Hugo:)I absolutely LOVE this name!

My son is named Hugo Augustus and he carries it well. I agree that the name is a cheerful and happy one, it is the perfect tone for my little boy. Hugo has 2 year old twin sisters named Marlo and Sabine.

I think Hugo is a great, unique name. My name is Kyle, which to me is too common. I am a unique individual and I believe I should have a unique name. I plan to go to court and change my name to Hugo. I also think Gelch is a unique surname, so I'm also going to change my last name from Russell to Gelch. Hugo Gelch. Now, if that isn't unique, I don't know what is!

A friend of mine had a beautiful male Siamese cat whom she named Handsome Hugo.
