What do you think of these as full names? Any other alternatives? We want a short one syllable name

We have a Wilf 😁

Short for Wilfred. Sometimes we call him Fred, sometimes it's Wilf.

When you said Walt and Wilf together that took me back to primary school. As I remember the We Are Learning Today acronym. I hadn't thought of that in years and it didn't cross my mind when we names our son.

Thanks for the input all. They aren't top of my list, just names I hear and think the would sound lovely with our surname and are more unusual and wondered what people thought as standalone names. I agree they would probably need to be abbreviated longer names.

Seth is really lovely. @IamnotwhouthinkIam I'm definitely drawn to that one! We are steering away from any popular names but DH said he does like Hugo but wouldn't use it and I would be the same with the name Ralph. We both know lots of them but think they are nice names if that helps with what else we may like.

Walt is a bit American for me.
I prefer Wilfred to Wilf
