Names like Wilbur

[BunnyWilliams]

I love vintage and older baby names, especially those that are softer sounding. We already have already used Rupert and Theodore.

We've recently found out we're expecting a boy. I had a huge girl name list but can't find many boys names that Iove. DH and I both love Wilbur but I'm aware of the pig connotations and the general dislike of the name.

Can you suggest any other similar names? I don't like Wilfred because it's too popular here. We've also talked about Barnaby but DH isn't as keen. Middle name will be Charles (family name).

Wilbur is great, definitely go with that :)

I have a Wilbur in his late teens. Only ever had positive comments about it and no mention of the pig.
He's only ever been Wilbur to friends and at school. At home he gets called Wilbs mostly. But he's never been Will.

Same as mine. He’s 9 and his friends call him Wilbur. They call each other by their full names and if there is a duplicate name that person is called their full name e.g John smith or John brown. Never Will 😊

I prefer Elmer 🐘
