I really like Wilfred. It's becoming very popular and I see it in the same mould as Henry etc just a few years behind. I know one aged 17 and lots and lots under 4.
I have to say that Boris would put me off but I think a lot of people won't know his kids' names so I suspect it's not a big deal in reality.

Henry

I definitely don't see Wilfred in the same 'mould' as Henry.

Henry is a classic name. Wilfred is not imo.

I thought Edward and you cannot go wrong with Max (biased , I have DS Max) but you have updated they are a 'no'

So I;m throwing Ralph into the ring . (Good strong 'Lord of the Flies' character )

Luredbyapomegranate · 28/05/2022 16:43

Oh I missed the Wilfred - I like that and it works.

Ernest, Walter, Arnold, Amos might be others with a similar feel

LilacSloth · 28/05/2022 17:15

Saw the title and Wilfred immediately came to mind! It's a lovely name😊

Yika · 28/05/2022 17:19
