Is this a name??

[Tigger13]

I am pregnant with DS3, I really like the name Wilf, but can't find it in a baby name book anywhere. I struggle with boys names as a 3rd child was always only a dream. Does anyone know of anyone called that and is that the correct spelling??

My dad is called Wilf-well cliford really but it gets shortened to wilf.

It's short for Wilfred - so, yes, it's a name

Short for Wilfred? yeah, I like it.

If I had another boy I'd go for Win, short for Edwin.

its short for wilfred and clifford

i dont like it

My great uncle was called Wilf.

i like wilf.

mmj, you can have several different shortenings of the same name, like Mags, Maggie and Daisy for Margaret.

yeah, lol
but i know a clifford who gets wilf/wilfie

or maybe its just coz everybody is usually drunk & forgets his name

Wilf

And I hate myself for such a boring post. I'd better get back to that thread for people with not-very-many friends...

I like Wilf. Not Wilfred though, far too flat cap old man.

VinegarTits - I LOVE your name

Doesn't Hermione Norris have a son called Wilf?

I think it means 'peace'

Thanks! getorfmoiland - i like yours too

Ah just checked it out and yes her ds is called Wilf and her baby dd is called ........

HERO!

If you like Wilf then please register him as Wilfred and then shorten it. Wilfred is a name, Wilf is not. If he is Wilfred and dislikes Wilf then at least he has an alternative of Freddie.

FWIW I quite like Wilf - I just think he should have options.

I know a Wilf - four months old, very cute and think it is a great name.

My mum calls me vinegar tits when I get a bit stroppy or bossy.

We used to have a sneaking love for watching old Prisoner Cell Block H repeats.

I really like it and you can have Wilf or Fred if you choose Wilfred.

I really love the name Wilf.

Wilf would be ok if he looked like Alf Garnett.
