Today’s list reminded me that I’ve had my eye on [name]Hugh[/name] for awhile. But it feels like more of a nickname to me. Beyond [name]Hugo[/name], what other names might use [name]Hugh[/name] as a nn? Or does it feel like it can stand on its own to you?
It says that [name]Howell[/name] is a variation of [name]Hugh[/name], but [name]Howell[/name]'s pretty lupine to me! [name]Even[/name] though it’s a really short name, I really like [name]Hugh[/name]. For me, it has a manly, sophisticated feel. I actually know a [name]William[/name] [name]Hugh[/name], and always liked his middle name! 
Personally, while I do think [name]Hugh[/name] can stand alone, I’d use it as a middle name. Its sound is just so short, you know?
I have to be honest, I like [name]Hugo[/name] much better. [name]Hugh[/name] is a whisp of a sigh-- in fact, it’s the exact sound I make when I climb off the elliptical machine. :o
Okay I am going to stick up for [name]Hugh[/name]! I have never considered it but I think that is because I just didn’t come across it… but now that you mention it, I am liking [name]Hugh[/name]! It is strong, classic, worldly, uncommon today, and really just plain HANDSOME!
I think that [name_m]Hugh[/name_m] is very nice, and can stand alone, however I like the longer names [name_m]Henry[/name_m], [name_m]Howell[/name_m], and [name_m]Harrison[/name_m] as well. I think with it’s length, [name_m]Hugh[/name_m] would make sense both as a first, middle, or nickname. It’s really up to you!
I love [name_m]Hugh[/name_m]! [name_u]Love[/name_u] its meaning and H names always sound handsome to me! Makes me think of a strong sports mad teen maturinging into a successful ambitious adult…though I think it fits in any walk of life. I have heard some people find it a little pretentious or perhaps hard to say but I still think it’s great!
