My husband and I have pretty much decided our baby boy will be Wilf. However, I made the mistake of reading some threads with opinions on the name and have read a lot of negative reactions to the name which has knocked our confidence with it! Can I ask for anybody with positive associations with the name to share them. I don’t need to hear the negative thoughts again! Thank you 😊

Nothing to be positive about I'm afraid.

Think this is a wind up though 😏

It is bloody awful!

Please don’t your child Wilf.

Wilf ... just Google it. I hope that gives you the answer about going further with the name.

It’s an appalling name

Shit I’m sorry. Positive only!

Boris has a Wilfred. Enough to put me off.

Does it not stand for Woman I'd like to F*?
I don't think you can use that.
