wasn't the pig in Charlotte's Web called Wilbur?

Stars22 · 27/01/2012 21:26

The first thing i thought of was pig from charlottes web.

Middledaughter · 27/01/2012 21:27

yup!! A problem?

I thought of Charlottes Web too, sorry!

AngiBolen · 27/01/2012 21:28

I love it.

Faverolles · 27/01/2012 21:28

If you don't mind your son being associated with Some Pig, then no, not a problem at all :)

Whatevertheweather · 27/01/2012 21:29

First thought was Charlottes Web too!

AngiBolen · 27/01/2012 21:29

Such rudeness!

Don't listen to these people. They need to get out more.

BendyBob · 27/01/2012 21:30

Honestly? I'd think oh dear, poor kid.
Sorry.

Haziedoll · 27/01/2012 21:30

It is very cute and I do like but it will always be the pig.

Middledaughter · 27/01/2012 21:31

I'm the one posting on a Friday night.... just thought it was quite sweet and will end up being Will anyway.

If he ends up as Will, he will likely end up as Willy amongst silly schoolboys... I'm not keen, sorry.

ThePoorMansBeckySharp · 28/01/2012 07:00

I too thought 'Some pig!'

LAbaby · 28/01/2012 07:01

I know a baby Wilbur. I was a bit surprised at first but it has grown on me.

Joygirl78 · 28/01/2012 07:03

I love it. Desperately love Wilfred too, but our surname starts with F and I think Wilf Fxxxx is a bit too 'f-y'

I don't like the "ur" part.

Iheartpasties · 28/01/2012 07:43

I Love it! So Cute!

ThompsonTwins · 28/01/2012 07:44

Sounds lovely. But I, too, can't forget the pig. Sorry. He was a very nice pig, though.

Nagoo · 28/01/2012 08:24

oink :)

It is a lovely name though :)

AngiBolen · 28/01/2012 10:32

I asked DH and he said it reminds him of Elmer's cousin. Didn't think of the pig at all.

CecilyP · 28/01/2012 12:00

It is one of those names of a certain generation that were popular in the States but never made it across the Atlantic - similar to Elmer and Homer, which are now considered a bit jokey.

lisaro · 28/01/2012 12:02

Bad, really really bad. Please don't do that to him.
