What do you think of Wilfred?

I really quite like it. Looking for something a bit unusual without making him a target for bullying! Also like the old-fashioned/ historical connotations. Do you think it's a 'strong' name or a wuss's name? Imagine we'd probably call him Wil, Wilf or Fred...

It's cool!

I LOVE it!
I want a boy called Wilfred, or Wilfie - but I can't have one, so that's what we named the guinea pig to lessen the blow.

Excellent name.

I hate it! I suppose he would have the option of calling himself Will and letting people assume it is William.
