Wilf

[weaselinthenight]

Tell me your thoughts! I already have a Henry.

I think that Ada is as bad as Wilf.

Edith & Ivy not so much!

Really really dislike all those names - Sidney, Stanley and all the rest - but Wilf is absolutely the worst of them all, I'm afraid. Just my opinion, of course.

I thought this was a thread about MILFs. On that basis I would say don't use it. Too much of a teasing risk.

Sorry Ada, not Ava. Well Ada is even worse. I'm just not very fond of names that sound like an Edwardian scullery maid/footman.

Not had time to read the full thread, but depending on the school he will always have his name on the board! WILF - teacher speak for 'What I'm looking for' :)

I like Wilf, but my only objection is that it's a little bit "on trend" in my area at the moment.
Lots of baby Wilfs and Baby Teddys

I would lay money that any child called Wilf would spend his teenage years as Wil or Will.

Slightly prissy dog name, I'm afraid. A friend has a whippet called Wilf who spend his time smothered in designer scarfs and jackets to keep out the cold, poor dear.

Reminds me too much of MILF. Not my cup of tea but it's your DS so call him a name YOU like. My DS has a name greatly disliked on these boards but so what! He's my DS!

"I would lay money that any child called Wilf would spend his teenage years as Wil or Will."

I find that worse than Wilf and too close to Willy!

Love, love, love it! But more to the point, if YOU love it use it. It really doesn't matter what anyone else thinks!

Agree with Theonlyone. Too much like MILF.

There was a lovely poster here on MN who used to update about her boy, Wilf. When I was a newbie, I nearly went on to her thread and was about to say something racy.

Thank goodness, I realised in time... So, OP, a no vote from me.

yes to Wilf! I know an adult Wilf and he is a lovely man :)

Not a fan of Wilf. But I'm not going to be horrible about it because I had a lovely old Uncle Wilf who was a lot like Badger in Wind in the Willows.

Sorry I really dislike it. To me it sounds weak, like a wilting wallflower or something. I like Will or William though. I don't like Edith or Ivy either.

No just no.sorry.

No no and thrice no.

Wilf is a lovely name....for a dog.

Hate the old biddy names too....remind me of old aunts with marshmallow cheeks you had to kiss as a child. Eewww

Awful name, but then I think all the recently revived old man/old lady names are awful & went out of fashion for a very good reason.

Love it! How about Wilfric instead of Wilfred? Although I bet if you did that he'd end up being either Ricky or Freddy.

Wilfric ????

Please don't.

Wilf is lovely.

Excellent name. I know one and he is a little sod but so beautiful you would forgive him anything.

Always loved the name, was on my short list a while back when I had DS, and think it goes brilliantly with Henry.

Adore it!!! Sidney is also fab
