Please help! Back to the short list... which do you prefer out of Hamish, Ralph or Wilfred?
(Scottish roots, 3 syllable surname, sibling to Margot and Archie).
Thanks!

I love Wilfred and the fact that he'd have the option to be Will, Fred, Freddie, Billy, Wilfred, Wilf.

averythinline · 11/05/2017 09:14

1.Wilfred - love Wilf as a nn
2- Hamish

  1. Ralph

all good'uns though....

auntym · 11/05/2017 09:34

Wilfred is lovely and goes well with your other names, it's on my list too. Not sure about Ralph as it sounds a bit like a dog barking to me. Good luck OP.

Twinmummytobe · 11/05/2017 10:21

Ralph is adorable

CricketRuntAndRashers · 11/05/2017 10:38

Ralph: adorable
Wilfred: I really like that one
Hamish: It seems to be a bit too (?) popular, doesn't it?

Justmadeperfectflapjacks · 11/05/2017 10:39

Hamish.

After my dcat!!
Grin

Loyly · 11/05/2017 10:40

Hamish

AdaColeman · 11/05/2017 10:47

Ralph!

Rockaby · 11/05/2017 11:06

Love Wilfred and Hamish equally!

Wilfred Hamish sounds better than Hamish Wilfred, so if you haven the got middle names sorted then maybe that?

bridgetreilly · 11/05/2017 12:36

In order:
Hamish
Wilfred
Ralph (don't really like this at all)

I like Ralph pronounced Rafe, but otherwise definitely Hamish

Lemondrop09 · 11/05/2017 13:38

Wilfred! Little Wilf is so cute

CakeRattleandRoll · 11/05/2017 13:39

Hamish

totorosfluffytummy · 11/05/2017 13:50

Congratulations Flowers
I love Hamish!

Sophronia · 11/05/2017 13:55

All three are nice, but I think Hamish goes best with the other two, folllowed by Ralph.

mollyminniemo · 11/05/2017 13:58

Hamish- esp if you have Scottish roots

sonlypuppyfat · 11/05/2017 14:06

I can't imagine any teenager thanking you for calling them Wilfred it's pretty wet and wimpy, Hamish is ok if you are Scottish

peaceloveandbiscuits · 11/05/2017 14:23

Sonly Wilfred Owen?

Elbi · 11/05/2017 14:54

All lovely. Sorry to be unhelpful but personally I don't think you can go wrong.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 12/05/2017 09:05

Hamish

mum2be2boys · 12/05/2017 15:13

Congratulations!

Very unhelpful, but I love all three names! I think my favourite is Hamish, but all three are lovely and go well with siblings names.
