Hugo, since it's my son's name.
Huw looks extremely weird. I guess Hugh can be handsome in an English speaking country, but it also sounds a bit awkward to me.

Definitely Hugo, and I like Hugo Lawrence

I didn't know Huw was a name until now. Would need to get used to it to have a fully-formed opinion. Thanks for introducing it to me though. I love Hugo. Hugh is ok.Unfortunately, I've forgotten most of my combos. How about Hugo Cyprian?

I find Huw delightful-looking, but it would confuse people where I live, so no. The safe choice for me would be Hugo, which I do enjoy in the English pronunciation: however, locally people would guess it was ˈɦy.ɣoːə. They'd know the English version, but it wouldn't be their first assumption. And Hugh, which I like best, is mysteriously difficult for Afrikaans-speaking people to hear: they hear 'Hugh' and 'You' as the same sound. I have a Hugh friend who prefers to go by his nickname for that reason. So I would only consider Hugh (or indeed Hugo or Huw) as a mn. So, Daniel Hugo Keith, or Daniel Richard Hugh.
