I like Henry, not sure on the rest.

Montgomery sounds really nice but makes me think of uncle monty
Felix I also like but it is a cat name.
The rest are very nice though.

Needalifeoverhaul · 12/09/2017 13:17

I love them all but in order of preference
1 Felix
2 Montgomery (Monty)
3 Wilfred
4 Henry

We'd probably use Wilf a lot day to day too as I love that, I'd hope that people wouldnt shorten it to Will as he got older.
DH loves Felix, as a PP said I just think of cats and just can't get myself to the point where my firstborn will be a Felix but he loves the name so trying to mull it over.

Monty is lovely but would you ever use his full name? Can you imagine calling him across the park? I love Felix & Wilfred is cool. Henry is OK but fairly popular. All good names OP! Sorry - not much use!

Woody
Fox

Henry is my favourite

I love Felix.

Henry is nice but quite safe. Wilfred is a bit stodgy but I love Wilf. Really don't like Montgomery (Burns) but Monty is quite cute.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 12/09/2017 12:49

Don't like any sorry, but Henry is bar far the nicest

grufallosfriend · 12/09/2017 12:47

Montgomery is very cool.

Henry is quite dull and Felix is a well known cat food brand in the U.K.

My order of preference would be:

  1. Henry
  2. Felix
  3. Montgomery
  4. Wilfred
Mum2OneTeen · 12/09/2017 12:23

Felix (I know a Felix and he's a lovely boy)

ChocolateCrunch · 12/09/2017 12:20

Not much help I'm afraid, as I like them all, but Felix and Wilfred in front by a gnat's whisker.

Hooleywhipper · 12/09/2017 12:03

Henry
Felix
Monty
Wilfred in order of preference however love them all.

Chaffinch4 · 12/09/2017 12:02

All lovely. Wilfred is my favourite.
