We want a name that means peace as DH's dad who recently died Dedicated his life to conflict resolution.

Wilfred means "peaceful ruler". There meaning is perfect.

We would probably use the nickname Freddie but would consider Wilf or Wilfie.

What do people think?

Not keen on the name but your reasons for choosing it are sound.

Same! It makes me think of Wilfred Owen. Obviously he was very talented but my associations to the name aren't positive.

I like it. Prefer Wilf or Wilfie as a nn rather than Freddie
