Herbie, Wilfred or Casper??

[Pawpatrolmummy2]

DS due this summer. Torn between Herbie (Herbert as given name but known as Herbie), Casper or Wilfred (Wilf, Wilfie for short). Any thoughts??

Don't do it!!!!!

They are all dreadful!!

Neither your child wont thank you

No

None of those horrible names.

None!

Out of those 3 I would pick Wilfred.

I love the name casper. I'd spell it differently though. I don't understand the hate for it at all.

None are to my taste, but Wilf if I had to choose. (do not like the longer version Wilfred though).

None. Poor tiny chap...name him "you're fucked" and get it over with.

Casper

I actually like them!
(Am obviously ‘that sort of person’ whatever that’s supposed to mean)
Must confess that I can’t help thinking about ghosts with Casper,
Wilfred is a a lovely, strong name, and Will, Wilf and Wilfie all work for me.
You name your baby what you want op!

Would also like to say that surely it makes a difference as regards where you live, what your surname is , your lifestyle etc
Anyone with kids in an independent London school will be able to give you a full lists of names that many would be horrified by!
Horses for courses

They're all amazing names! So shocked by people's reactions. I would go for Casper, then Wilfred, and Herbert last because although I LOVE Herbie, Herbert might be a bit much for some people

Well, you asked.
All awful.

I love Wilfred, it was my grandads name but I’ve heard a few little boys with the name.

I don't like any of these names.

If you like Wilfred, how about Frederick, (Freddie)?

I really like all 3 names (and am surprised by the amount of negative feedback since they are all current names growing in popularity in the UK). So, while they once may have been old-fashioned they are now back in. My order is Wilfred (because I love Wilf and find it very cool), Casper and Herbie.

Wilfred because it's very adaptable, friends will probs call him 'Wil' but 'Fred' or 'Freddy' are also options along with 'Wilf'.

Don't listen to negative comments if you like the names, and as other pp have said, these names are likely to come back in anyway!

My son is called Kasper and I love that name. But then I’m not in the uk and it’s common name here

Awful, all 'trying too hard'.

I like Casper/Caspar the best. Wilf or Freddie second. Not keen on Herbie - probably because I know one -who I don't like-

Arghh, strikethrough fail!

Wilf.
Herbie is cute for a baby but not a name for a grown man.

Awful, all 'trying too hard'.

Trying to hard to what?! To find a perfect name?

I like Caspar and Herbert best.
