My DS was very nearly Wilf, love it. I also loved Otis, so that's got my vote.

Thanks

We don't have the same taste in names, but I do like Otis and it goes surprisingly well with Wilf.

Thanks

Herbie (bc Herbert) - Herbie is kind of cute but I don't think I'd want to be called Herbie or Herbert. I think you'd have to be an overly confident person to pull off Herbie

Frankie (bc Franklin) - I'm not a fan personally

Doug (bc Douglas) - it's ok

Bruno - I quite like but ATM everybody will just sing 'we don't talk about bruno' at him

Otis - my favourite from your list
Caspar - not a fan

Solomon - I like it, my second favourite from your list

Thanks

I have an Otis but don’t think it goes with Wilf. I like everything from your list apart from Solomon.

At the moment the Encanto song puts me off Bruno.

Does it matter whether names "go with" each other?
You're naming people who will grow to be separate individuals with different personalities, not a pair of matching garden gnomes.
