Boys name - which one

[Chunks1376]

We’re expecting our second boy soon and can’t decide between these three names.

Charles Wilfred (although we’d call him Charlie)
Rhys Wilfred
William Wilfred Joseph

What’s opinions on the above

I prefer the other two to William. I just hate the nickname Willy 🙈 Rhys is nice and quite unusual but Charlie I love too

I prefer Joseph Rhys out of all of them. Don’t like Wilfred.

How about Scrotus. Strong and unusual.

I can’t warm to Charlie. So that puts me off.
Rhys is good.
I like William. I’d go for that.
I prefer Wilfred out of your options, though.

Rhys Wilfred! Both names we considered when I was pregnant (with DD, so in the end neither got used).

I like Rhys

find others bit dull

Rhys is good.

I prefer Rhys William to Rhys Wilfred.

Hate Rhys. Like the others.

I’d go for Charles Wilfred or William Joseph. I think William and Wilfred are a bit much together.

Not William Wilfred.

Not a fan of Rhys either.

Rhys is best

William gets teased with Willy and Charlie is too cutesy imo.

Wilfred is a family name so has to stay as a middle name. I really like it though.

Rhys Wilfred? I love Charles, but hate Charlie.

Rhys only if you say it the welsh way.
William Wilfred is too Wil-y

Charles/Charlie is nice

Charles or William

Charlie or William

Rhys Joseph is really nice.

I don't like Charlie at all, I don't know why. But lots of people love it.

I know about a zillion Williams and they are all Will or occasionally Billy. I think it's a bit less ubiquitous than Charles nn Charlie right now so I would go with that. I don't like Rhys.

At our primary school Willy is unfortunately very common. It's the natural shortening for William (Willy am)! Perhaps secondary pupils are more mature

William Wilfred Joseph for me. William's very timeless, has a strong sound and meaning and the most interesting, varied historical namesakes. "Wil - Wil" would also be a super cute nn on a toddler imo! (I also suspect there's too many Williams about now for any major "Willy" teasing in most schools - it's not exactly an uncommon name).

Second choice: Charles Wilfred. Charles is also very classic and Darwin, Dickens and Babbage pretty interesting namesakes, only issue might be that "Charlie" is even more popular than William.

Rhys is okay, I just think there are far nicer sounding Welsh boys names out there - Emrys, Gwilym (if you like William), Owen/Owain, Macsen, Ioan (or anglicized Evan) or Huw (if it's a single syllable name you like) would be personally be names I'd consider before Rhys.

Charles Wilfred is handsome. Charley is the best nick name.

I also like Wilfred Charles, Joseph William or Joseph Wilfred.

I'm not a lover of any of those names. William is old and boring. Charlie is okay but can also be a girls name? Rhys is also okay but dull.
