It seems very "euro-chic" to me on someone in the US. It makes me think of
Hugo Boss, which doesn't make me think of Nazis, it just gives me an image of the fashion industry ... hyperwealth, narcissism, and ostentation. Yuck. I don't like the sound of it either - HYEWGH-oh.
Sorry. I don't think all that baggage would fall on the head of a kid named
Hugo but if I met a young
Hugo who I knew came from here, today, I'd have a slight "gimme a break!" reaction at first and then I'd just not enjoy saying the name out loud.
If his fam actually was from
Europe I don't think I'd react at all - I might not even bother to notice that I don't like the sound of it.
