Wolf?

[Deaver]

As a name for a boy, nn Wolfie.....

Other DC have slightly unusual names.

Is it too weird?

Citizen Smith.
Too weird.

A friend has just had a Wolf.

It's weird.

Sorry, I think it's horrible.

Really????

No

I'm a wolfiefan.
But as a name for a child. In RL. Who one day will have to make friends, apply for college and go out to work. Um no. Just no.

Too weird. I'd think you were a Gladiators fan.

Is he a Gladiator with a mullet?

If not, avoid like the plague.

I knew a Sharky; it's better than that!

Like the gladiator! It's not a name I'd choose.

Wolfgang

It seems to be well liked on previous mumsnet threads

Awful!

No - don't. It's awful.

No!

Very Citizen Smith!

I'd go for Wolfgang, or Wulfram as a full name. Or Edwulf, Caelwulf or Saexwulf if you're really into Anglo-Saxon

Fast forward 18 years, trendy bar in boy chatting up girl...

Hi, what's your name?
Maggie, you?
Wolf
Eh? As in arooooooooo werewolves in London?
Yes
Was your mum on gas at the birth?

I've laughed if a wolf tried to hit on me.

I like it as a short form of Wolfric. Could be shortened to Ricky as well.
I also like Alaric Alfred and Ulric.

I always fancied 'Wulf' but it's sadly not a very sensible name...

If pronounced german way Volf, not Woolf its nice

Wolfric?

Adore Wolf (but have very left field names for my own... Tiger is a definite if we have another, boy or girl)

Just no.

I wanted to use Wolf as a middle name for ds, dh refused to have the conversation with me and said I was too pregnant to make a rational decision. Roll on to a week or so after the birth when we went to register ds and I was horrified at the idea of Wolf and perfectly happy with James.

Is this a name you would have considered pre pregnancy? Was it on the list for other dc?

Maybe get a few others on your shortlist in case you change your mind.
