Hugh?
What do you think of the name Hugh? I'm torn on this name, some days I really like it and others days I think it sounds old man-ish. What do you think?

I don't know, I want to like it but I just can't. Something about the sound is just really silly to me.
Gorgeous! Reminds me of Hugh Dancy, Hugh Laurie, Hugh Jackman, etc. I love it as a nickname for Hugo!
I once brought this up to my mom and I wondered aloud why more people didn't name their sons Hugh and she said, "Hugh Heffner." :(
That shocked me out of loving Hugh for about a week, then I went back. :)

I have a soft spot for it because it was my Dad's name(he was Hubert but no one called him that but his mother:))
I prefer Aodh which is the Irish for Hugh but I find Hugh pretty usable. Not old mannish but I do find Hughie old mannish.

I really really like Hugh!
One of my favorites! Super sexy!
Much better than ugly Hugo! It's sexy! Some of the hottest men I know are named Hugh! (Hugh Laurie, Hugh Jackman, Hugh Grant)

Yeah
Hugh does sound like the kind of name a suave, sexy, British man would have.

I love it!
I really like Hugh, though I kind of have difficulty pronouncing it.
I'm torn too. I've met quite a lot of Hughs and Huws, and even the young ones do seem to have a bit of an elderly thing going on. It's not a bad name, but Hugo seems friendlier.
I used to think it was sort of silly sounding, but the past year or so I've begun to like it. I don't think it's very old man-ish. It's rather fresh and outdoorsy to me. Perhaps flannel shirt wearing. Yes, that is excellent.
See my comments on Bruce and Harold a couple posts up... same category. Yes, old man-ish... and my first association that comes to mind w/ it is not good because he's a famous man who not only exploits women, but abused his daughter and when she came out w/ it to the public had people threatening her over it... I forget his daughter's name now because it was years ago now, but he is not a role model whose name I'd want to associate my son w/.
It doesn't have an elderly feel for me, but though I don't mind it at all, I think I prefer Hugo.Also, there was a wonderful international cricketer called Hugh Tayfield who was unfortunately known as Hughie. That is not good.
