Middle name choices... down to the wire

Name Advice
1

Hello all, thanks for your help and guidance over the past few months narrowing down our first name choices. Baby is arriving some time TOMORROW. We are 99% likely to go with Hug0 so now I’m thinking about our mn choices and trying to decide which one I like best.

All are family names from my side, which matches the pattern we used with my older kids. [Parents choice for first, family/honor name for middle] but which one sounds the best to your ear?

Frederick - worried it’s clunky, but really like three syllables with Hug0.
Carl - our hypenated last name is loooong so it’s nice to have short first and middle. Feels perhaps too dated to me?
Anders - this is my favorite name from the list on its own but I don’t love how the a blends with the o of Hug0, and also makes weird initials with our last name (HALP)
Henry - most normcore name on the list, is the double HH weird? This will probably be my husband’s favorite…

We have a couple other options floating around but these four have stuck with me.

Hug0 [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] is very charming - classic and cool!!

Hug0 [name_u]Henry[/name_u] is fun and sweet!

Hug0 [name_m]Anders[/name_m] is unexpected and cool!

I did vote for [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] but I do like these three a lot

[name_m]Hugo[/name_m] [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] is so handsome! I think any boy would be happy to have such a strong name!

Also, how exciting! Congratulations!

Definitely [name_m]Carl[/name_m] with the long last name. It’s also distinctive and handsome.

[name_m]Frederick[/name_m] or [name_m]Anders[/name_m]. [name_u]Henry[/name_u] would be okay too but very expected with [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] for me and I prefer much more [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] and [name_u]Henry[/name_u] as brothers, not as a combo (as brothers would be stunning and vintage-esque nice).

I really like the HH alliteration here. [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] [name_u]Henry[/name_u] is endearing
