Boris calls his baby wilfred

I like the name. It was obviously well thought out to honour people that meant something to both of them . Carrie and Boris have been through a lot and it's nice to hear "her heart is full"
Ehova, the medical team that cared for him are liars too then are they? Good you are behind the cloak of annonominity to say such unkind things.

Lovely baby
Looks just like Boris.....he can’t deny this one!

Wilfred Owen?

Another down-vote for the name. My late father had 2 unusual names, he used neither as he hated them so much. If he had been given a more pleasant name I would have wanted to name my son after him but there was no way I was going to saddle a baby with either! Neither does he have 'chavy' names!

Lawrie is just a nickname - what's wrong with Laurence? Wilfrid Bramble?

The baby looks like a fully formed Boris. I don't like the name, it's been fashionable again for a while, I perceive it to be Anglo Saxon, to me most of those names are ugly, Wilfred, Ethel, Edith horrible! they don't roll off the tongue in comparison to say a name derived from say Latin imo. Thank God for William the Conqueror that's all I've got to say on the subject of Anglo Saxon

I quite like Wilfred too. He’ll probably be Wilf. I think it fits in well with names of today. I really like Lawrie , think it’s a lovely name ?.
Wish the family well.

I quite like Wilfred. ?

The spiteful troll and his or her evil remarks should be removed from this thread.

“Ms McGee, who looked after the Prime Minister for two nights, said Mr Johnson did not receive preferential treatment and "absolutely needed" to be in intensive care.”. Dedicated, caring and honest nurse, telling it how it was.

Face.

Reminds me of my beloved uncle and brought a smile to my fade.

Wilfred? - poor little thing - reminds me of Wilfred Pickles!

JenniferEccles, I agree, it is so sad when people put down the hard work of medical staff working long and stressful hours to save patients in ICU, whoever that patient may be.

A shameful post Evoha, whatever your politics.

I lengthened yours- sorry!!

Ekircubbin is that how you say your names?

I don't. I may shorten my first name occasionally but not usually, but not the others. I fact, if I use my full name I don't shorten any of them.

Perhaps other people do that.

No antipathy to infrequent posters Evoha16 , but an exception is made to those posting unpleasant and completely inaccurate comments.

Do you have irrefutable evidence that Boris has lied about being seriously ill?

If not it was an extremely stupid comment.

paddyanne That was a good solution then but are people really offended? I have the same name as my DD's MiL so that was easy for them.
I wanted to name my DS after my DF, long deceased, but my DM wouldn't hear of it. She said she never liked his name.

Will law Nick Johnston, his middle names.

Grammaretto My children are called after GGP's .I would have liked to have called my son after my lovely dad but didn't want to offend my FIL .The solution was calling him after both his maternal GGF's that way no one was offended .

It's a fine name. Wilfred Owen etc. All our DGC have old fashioned names as have most of my Gt nieces and nephews. It is popular to name your DC after the gt grandparents it seems.

I wonder if names such as Brenda, Cynthia, June, Derek, Brian or Nigel will ever be fashionable again. think I had better stop before I cause offence

Thankyou calendargirl did indeed mean inured - although now feel immured by GN antipathy towards infrequent posters ?

Not a name that would have occurred to me! Nice thought to include the doctors though! He’ll probably curse the blonde mop when he’s a teenager.

The only other Wilf I knew was a golden retriever. He ran into a strangers house covered in mud and ruined their white carpet. Grabbed a duck from the village pond (it survived) and jumped into a strangers car again covered in mud. Let’s hope this little one is better behaved!

It’s a nice name - they obviously love it, which is all that matters. I think it was very good of them to remember the doctors (and all the staff) who looked after him by giving him Nicholas as a middle name.

All our AC and GC have “proper names” as opposed to “modern trendy ones” Some may think they are old fashioned but they stand the test of time!

A traditional one too. My dad’s middle name was the surname of the doctor who saved him and his mum in childbirth.
