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. . . .

Hugo

So tired didn't notice had already replied - apologies.

Wilbur Smith is the name of a novellist. www.wilbursmithbooks.com

I like Wilfred- reminds me of the WW1 poet. I also do like Hugo. How about Wilfred Hugo Smith?

My ds is Wilfred, he was named after Wilfred Owen! He tells everyone he was named after the soldier poet.

Hugo!

I like all of them, but Hugo is my favourite DP shot it down when I suggested it for DS.

Don't like any of them sorry - a bit posh public school boy sounding too me - but then I prefer names used across the classes.

Apologies for my shoddy English above - obviously didn't go to a public school

I love Hugo

I love Hugo - and wish we could use it, but it doesn't work with our surname. I sort of like Wilf(red) but Wilbur just makes me think of a pig for some reason (is it 1984?).

wilf is fab!!!!! we were going to have a wilfred george or angus frank if dd2 was a boy.

PM. Wilbur was the pig in Charlotte's Web!

Thanks LJ - I knew there was a piggy connection somewhere and remembered soon after I'd posted that it was CW!

Wilf is fab.
Not Wilbur its the pig in Charlotte's Web!
