Wilfred? Thoughts?

Also considering v traditional names like Henry, Harry, Benjamin, William but none capturing us.

I'd say William or James or maybe Joseph.

I really like Wilfred. It's becoming very popular and I see it in the same mould as Henry

I definitely don't see Wilfred in the same 'mould' as Henry.

Henry is a classic name. Wilfred is not imo.

Henry

I really like Wilfred. It's becoming very popular and I see it in the same mould as Henry etc just a few years behind. I know one aged 17 and lots and lots under 4.
I have to say that Boris would put me off but I think a lot of people won't know his kids' names so I suspect it's not a big deal in reality.

Edward or Emmett

Thanks everyone, a few there I'd not thought of! Unfortunately lots of lovely ones are ruled out because of close family/friend connections:
Thomas
George
Edward
Jack
Oscar
Max

David, Richard and Peter still seem a bit old fashioned to me in a less appealing way!
