We're thinking Sidney Alexander or Wilfred Sidney?

Thanks Grin

Sidney Alexander.

Sid/Syd is a great name.

Sidney Alexander. Is so cute. I can visualise a little an adorable little boy with red hair and glasses.

Don’t really like either.

Love Alexander though!

They’re both absolutely dreadful, so I’d go for something different.

Wilfred, with Alexander as his middle name.

Wilfred is lovely! Sidney reminds me of kidneys plus that horrible little boy called Sid from Toy Story.

Wilfred by far. Sidney is a bit of a dirty old man rustling in the bushes kind of name. And it always makes me think steak and Sidney pie.

Wilfred. Then as he grows if he wants to play around with his name he could use either Wilf or Freddie. It's the name I wanted if dd had been a boy.

Sidney.

I’d go will Wilfred (will) I know a Sydney who’s a girl so can’t picture a boy being called that name

Sidney, although Wilfred is nice too.

I prefer the name Alfred to Wilfred....not trying to complicate matters!

Both awful, sorry. Stick to Alexander.

I don't like either but if I were a man I think I'd find Sid easier to bear than the awful Wilf. Alexander is great though!
