Norway · Boys
In 2025, Fillip was ranked #249 and Hugo #101 among boys in Norway.

Fillip and Hugo over time

Fillip and Hugo appear together in 1 published list, across 27 years of shared records. Fillip held the stronger position in more years in 1 of them, Hugo in 0.

The order between them changed and held in one of those lists — a change in that published list, never a claim that one name displaced the other.

Fillip reached its own highest recorded position earlier in 1 of those lists, and Hugo in none. Each position is a place inside its own list, so this compares when they peaked and never how high.

Counted list by list. Two names in the same published list are measured on the same scale in the same year, so those comparisons are real — but positions from different lists are not, so nothing here is combined into an overall standing.
