Wilfred, Hugo or Wilbur

[Momdeguerre]

The endless boys name debate rumbles on. . . .

DH and I are struggling to decide between these three names. We have a very, very common surname akin to Smith.

Thoughts please?

7 weeks to go. . . .

Not Wilbur. Like the others.

Hugo

Wilfred is the most flexible for nicknames.

Not Wilbur

I think I like Wilfred best, but Hugo good too

Wilfrid is nice, but they are pets names really

Wilfred and Wilbur are unattractive names imho. They are both ok for little kids or dogs but I don't think he'll thank you when he's older. Hugo is ok.

Hugo.

Wilfrid.
Have you thought about Howard?

Hugo or Wilfred.

Hugo.

They are all good. Have you got a middle name to work with?

Wilfred - love that name

Wilfred. My FIL was a lovely old gentleman, that was his name.

Hugo

Thanks, for comments.

Middle names (which we can't use as first names) are Thomas and Sydney.

MY Dad's middle name is Hugo - please dont do it! He got teased rotten whenever anyone found out his middle name!

Hugo, I Go, You go

Life is hard enough!

Hugo

I have a Wilfred who is 2y 4m. We call him Wilf or Wilfie but it could easily have been Fred or Freddie I suppose. No doubt he'll call himself Wil when he's a teenager. Very flexible, not to mention mighty cute IMHO

Really, really like Hugo. Can always be abbreviated to Huw/Hugh. Wilbur seems, oddly, to simulataneously strike me as American and an animal name. And, despite the niceness of the Doctor Who character, I'm not keen on Wilfred.

Seems that Wilfred and Hugo are the tops so far. We still struggling to decide.

I have a Hugo and love it, but had never considered Wifred, Wilf is absolutely brilliant.

Have you decided yet?

I like both Wilfred and Hugo. Hugh/Huw is also nice. Not so keen on Wilbur - I tend to think of that as being a name of an old American man for some reason.

Hugo

Out of those I'd say Hugo.
