Hugo is is from the Germanic hugu meaning "heart, mind, spirit". It brings to mind a man who is an intellectual while being emotionally intelligent as well—both things I would want for my son! I also appreciate the simplicity of the name and its international familiarity.

Hugo has a lively sound that reminds me of laughter and a good book. Imagery wise, it's the day-long exploration of cool forests, moors, and tors followed by a much anticipated hot chocolate at home.

Jay prefers Hugo to Hugh and thinks of Hugo Boss. I don't have that particular association but I'm glad he likes it! It makes me think of author Victor Hugo and of Hugo de Paganis the first Grand Master of the Knights Templar. It gives it an air of nobility, history, and honor.
