Hugues is hughes in french. I think you meant that "Hugh" (or Hughes) is "Hugues" in French. The variations can become very complicated with Russian, Arab and Chinese names. I'll be a moderator for once. Start back at Robert Bryndza. (And yet I close my eyes at so much that goes on here. )

Pippilotta Provisionia Gaberdina Dandeliona Ephraimsdaughter Longstocking - full name of Pippi Longstocking. In English.
Hang on a minute, her proper name as originally written and not translated into another language is - Pippilotta Viktualia Rullgardina Krusmynta Efraimsdotter Långstrump. Which one do you want? The original and authentic as written or a translated version into another language? Like the French version - "Fifi Brindacier".
