Old man middle name needed!

[picklystars]

So we've decided on Wilfred for our little chap, not looking to reconsider this so please be gentle if you dislike the name!

We are however completely and utterly stuck for a middle name. Feel like we have to because other dc have mns but we've got nothing.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

Wilfred Ernest. Defo.

Think James would work well.

Wilfred Amos is fab

Algernon. A sadly neglected name, even for those looking for an old man vibe.

Alan
Harold
Arthur
Frank

Wilfred Howell, that sounds good.

Wilfred Clifford
Wilfred Alan
Wilfred Frederick

James was the first thing I thought when I saw Wilfred

I like Wilfred Stanley

Lawrence

I don't understand why people choose middle names that don't mean anything?

Do you have an influential male role model? A father, uncle, grandfather, godfather etc. that you might like to honour?

If we have a boy he'll be named after both of our (now deceased) grandfathers (first name, middle name) and for a girl we've chosen a first name and middle name will be my MiL's "real" name (she's usually known by a nick name)

First thought for a middle name for Wilfred was Jonathan. Or Edward or Andrew.

Wilfred Xavier

Thank you all for your suggestions! I'll be running them all past DH today!

Fingers crossed we'll have one soon

@AnotherOriginalUsername I have to disagree. Just because we aren't naming him after anyone, it doesn't mean his name won't mean anything to us! Each to their own I guess, I can't personally understand why anyone would name their child after anyone else.

Another vote for James here. Also my first thought with Wilfred

Wilfred Owen? Like the poet?

Wilfred Alexander
Wilfred Clarence
Wilfred Stanley

James or Adam.

Victor
Reginald
Randolph

Clemence

We need to know the decision op !

I'd go for something classic like James. If you go for two old man names then there's no choice if he doesn't like his first name. Most likely won't be an issue but nice to have a back up.
