[Opinions] Re: Wilfred
in reply to a message by Bex
1. I really like Wifred! It reminds me of Wilfrid Laurier, who is a good association. It also has a refined, adult feel and strong meaning, which are some of my favorite features in a name.
2. Yes, I think it would be shortened to Wil, unless he made it a point of going by Fred or Freddie.
3. Freddie is my favorite. Using no nickname when your name usually has one is tough, speaking from experience. Wilf sounds elderly to me (I can’t see it on a man under 60).
