I think it sounds stuffy and elderly, but I do like the Wilfred Owen association (hence Wilfred is the spelling I prefer) and the nickname Freddie.

I actually think Wilfred/Wilfrid is quite usable. I can see a normal person with the name. It sounds kind of old-man-ish still, but hey, those names are in style.

I prefer Wilfred.

sorry dont like it, I probably like the Wilfrid pronouncation better

I prefer Wilfred: makes Will, Wilf and Fred possible nns, and the more choice the merrier. Can't say I enjoy it much as a name, though it has a certain vintage charm. First World War veteran, kind of thing.

I've taught two boys called Wilfred. One went by Wilf, the other Will.

It's perfectly useable.

Hi !!!

I prefer Wilfrid.
It is a lovely name with a very positive meaning.

Don't worry! Wilfrid is not geeky, it is a name with a sense and a history behind it. It is far better than many modern names.

"Desiring peace" is a wonderful hope for the future.
