I love it - it is really cute. I know a couple under 3 though so it might be making a bit of a Stanley / Arthur style comeback, but it is lovely

Very sweet indeed. My Grandpa was Wilfred, and lovely!

The other good thing is that if he absolutely detests the Wilf shortening as a teenager, he can be Freddie.

I have a 2 year old Wilf and get nothing but compliments...tummytickler is right, my other DS is Stanley so I guess it is making that comeback!

i like it, much better than alfred imo

Lovely! You must get the book Watch out Wilf too, very cute mouse story.

Merle · 03/09/2009 17:13

I have one so I'm biased. I think it's great. He hates the Watch out Wilf book though, as the mouse is always doing silly things. I would have liked a Stanley if I'd had DS3 so I'm obviously on this wavelength! You can can have 'Wilfrid'- old English or 'Wilfred' - the Victorian version .
