[Opinions] Re: Wilfred
in reply to a message by Bex
I find Wilfred to be dorky beyond all comprehension.
I think it would be shortened to Wil unless you got ahead of it and started calling him Freddie exclusively. I think there is even a good chance that Wilf will become Wil.
I think I like Freddie the best. Wilf sounds like a sound a dog makes. Freddie is cute enough. I can't take Wilfred as a full name seriously...and there aren't many names that legitimately fall into the category for me.
Wilfred Caspian Stewart Arnold?
Wilfred Oberon Stewart Arnold?
Wilfred Russell Stewart Arnold?
I adore Theodora and think you guys made a great decision. Theodora is strong, elegant, and classy. Wilfred is awkward and comical.
Wilfred would be a good middle name if Dave loves it so much though. Middle names are where anything goes to me.

I absolutely love Wilfred, but I detest the nickname Wil. It's been enough for me to not want to use it.. Maybe Wilfred would be good as a first MN.
Maybe we will never have a boy, so I won't have to think about it! haha.
It's hard because Theodora is such a good combination of being unusual, but recognisable and it's got such nice history and meaning..
I still love Percival the most but i'm afraid that it's too out there..
