Which name do you prefer?

We would probably shorten to Alf/ Alfie or Wilf/ Wilfie

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I like Wilfred

I prefer Alfred but mainly because I really don't like Wilf.
Wilfred is ok if it's not shortened to Wilf.
That is just my personal choice though, there is nothing wrong with either name.

I like both but think there's a lot more Alfies around, although maybe they're all older now.....is it still popular? It seemed to have a real boom maybe 15 or so ago.

Too soon for me - Grandad's generation.

Oh, and Alf Garnett.

I like Alfred - shortens easily to Alf!

I don’t like either (sorry) but if they were the only options I’d go Wilf. Loads of children called Alfie in my child’s primary school.
