The endless boys name debate rumbles on. . . .

DH and I are struggling to decide between these three names. We have a very, very common surname akin to Smith.

Thoughts please?

7 weeks to go. . . .

Wilfred. My FIL was a lovely old gentleman, that was his name.

Wilfred - love that name

They are all good. Have you got a middle name to work with?

Hugo.

Hugo or Wilfred.

Wilfrid.
Have you thought about Howard?

Hugo.

Wilfred and Wilbur are unattractive names imho. They are both ok for little kids or dogs but I don't think he'll thank you when he's older. Hugo is ok.

Wilfrid is nice, but they are pets names really

Jamieandhismagictorch · 10/02/2010 16:24

Not Wilbur

I think I like Wilfred best, but Hugo good too

Wilfred is the most flexible for nicknames.
