As a name for a boy, nn Wolfie.....

Other DC have slightly unusual names.

Is it too weird?

If pronounced german way Volf, not Woolf its nice

Nannawifeofbaldr · 12/06/2016 18:44

I always fancied 'Wulf' but it's sadly not a very sensible name... Sad

I like it as a short form of Wolfric. Could be shortened to Ricky as well.
I also like Alaric Alfred and Ulric.

Fast forward 18 years, trendy bar in boy chatting up girl...

Yes
Was your mum on gas at the birth?

I've laughed if a wolf tried to hit on me.

Very Citizen Smith!

I'd go for Wolfgang, or Wulfram as a full name. Or Edwulf, Caelwulf or Saexwulf if you're really into Anglo-Saxon

clippityclop · 12/06/2016 17:44

No!

Abetes · 12/06/2016 17:44

No - don't. It's awful.

Mumandmama · 12/06/2016 17:43

Wolfgang

KaraokeQueenOfTheNorth · 12/06/2016 17:41

Like the gladiator! It's not a name I'd choose.

NamelessLittleDude · 12/06/2016 17:37

I knew a Sharky; it's better than that!

Biscuit
LunaLoveg00d · 12/06/2016 17:36

Is he a Gladiator with a mullet?

If not, avoid like the plague.

FlappyRose · 12/06/2016 17:36

Too weird. I'd think you were a Gladiators fan.

Wolfiefan · 12/06/2016 17:36

I'm a wolfiefan.
But as a name for a child. In RL. Who one day will have to make friends, apply for college and go out to work. Um no. Just no.

MildlyattractiveBetty · 12/06/2016 17:35

No

Jokeaboutmyhotchoc · 12/06/2016 17:35
Hmm

Really????

RortyCrankle · 12/06/2016 17:34

Sorry, I think it's horrible.

kitchenunit · 12/06/2016 17:34

A friend has just had a Wolf.

It's weird.
