We're thinking Sidney Alexander or Wilfred Sidney?

Thanks Grin

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!

MyBrilliantDisguise · 11/03/2018 15:52

Both awful, sorry. Stick to Alexander.

Frankie2015 · 11/03/2018 15:51

I love Wilfred!! Sidney is good too though!

FizzyGreenWater · 11/03/2018 14:53

Sidney.

Lentilbaby · 11/03/2018 09:36

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

Afternoon · 11/03/2018 09:34

Sidney, although Wilfred is nice too.

BroTim · 11/03/2018 09:31

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

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 11/03/2018 08:25

Sidney.

slowsloth · 11/03/2018 08:22

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.

Madmarchpear · 11/03/2018 08:11

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.

Sorry for double post! Stupid phone.

TheDailyMailIsADisgustingRag · 11/03/2018 08:05

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

Definitely Wilfred

ChocolateCrunch · 11/03/2018 02:36

Wilfred, with Alexander as his middle name.

Yvest · 11/03/2018 00:27

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

Mumoftwoyoungkids · 11/03/2018 00:18

Don’t really like either.

Love Alexander though!

chezmk1988 · 11/03/2018 00:10

Wilfred

Buntysoven · 10/03/2018 23:54

I really really dislike Sidney. Wilfred by a million miles!

buttercup54321 · 10/03/2018 23:16

Wilfred Alexander

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 10/03/2018 23:11

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

Sophronia · 10/03/2018 23:05

Sidney

JustPutSomeGlitterOnIt · 10/03/2018 21:54

I LOVE Sidney.

Little Sid. Great.

SuperBeagle · 10/03/2018 21:52

Sidney Alexander.

Sid/Syd is a great name.

DramaAlpaca · 10/03/2018 21:42

I much prefer Sidney.
