Wilfred

I have fallen in love with Wilfred. I discovered it today, and it immediately made my top 5. It’s very reminiscent of my favourite name Wilbur, and I love its old man charm - I’m very into names like Wilfred, Wilbur, Ernest, Vincent, that you’d expect to see on a grandpa, then smile when you realise the bearer is a baby or toddler! And it’s so versatile - nickname could be Will, Wilf, Bill/Billie, Fred/Freddie, or even Wolf if you’re feeling adventurous! I love this name.

I really like the name Wilfred. It’s vintage but classic. It can suit any age from a baby to an old man. I love the nicknames Wilf and Fred/Freddie. I would definitely consider using this for my future son.

I like the meaning. Desiring peace is super cool, but now Wilfred has to go out and fight for his peace ☮️, sadly. Just the way it is. Sorry, Wilfred.

Pansy name. Floppy. :/

I actually love this name, it is sophisticated, without being too stiff. It has a little bit of a clumsy sound, but that endears me toward Wilfred even more. I wouldn't have put it on my official list if it had not recently had a huge spike in popularity here, then a little Wilfred running about won't be that obscure. My favourite nickname has to be Bill, it's so handsome and mature, I could definitely go for Fred or Wilf though. Overall a lovely name, j'adore (sorry if that was offensive or something to French speakers)!

This name is also used in places like Kenya. I love it. I am Wilfred Mbugua.

Way too old fashioned and nerdy sounding for my personal tastes. It does have a very nice meaning though.

This is one of my favourite boy's names! So many nickname possibilities such as Will, Wilf and Fred! I can see it on a young boy but also an older man.

This has to be one of the sweetest name meanings I've ever come across. If only the name weren't so hopelessly clumsy to my ears.
