Which name do you prefer?

We would probably shorten to Alf/ Alfie or Wilf/ Wilfie

Neither. I can’t stand Alfie so that rules out Alfred and now BoJo has just called his baby Wilfred I would avoid that too.

Wilfred. Alfie is too popular.

I really like Alfred

My dog is called Alfie, so I like the name but I don't like Wilfred or Wilf at all and definitely wouldn't call a boy that now that BoJo the Clown has named his latest son!

I think it's only because the name "Wilfred" has been announced today that people associate it with Boris
In a couple of days this baby's name won't be being mentioned much at all
Wilfred is pretty mainstream now, no one will think you're a Boris fan 😂

Both low down on my list, but Alfred now that BoJo has a Wilfred. I feel like Wilfred is the next Arthur.
