The only thing that puts me off both of them is Wilf sounds like Milf and Prince Albert is a willy piercing. Am so annoyed that I have thought both of these things as I really love both names. Do you think am just over thinking?? Confused
We already have an Alfie, got a massive family so choices limited 🙄

Wilbur ?
I like Wilfred though

Of the two Albert.

As alternatives, Eric has the same feel, as does Walter.

Albie

Sorry just saw Alfie! You might want to avoid Albert then in case of albie shortenings.

I love Wilf but my other half has vetoed it unfortunately. Also my friend said its an acronym for woman I'd like to fuck, but I've never heard that in the real world.
