Wilfred it is then.
I don't think that's on the most popular list?
Reminds me of Steptoe & Son
Oliver and Archie are top picks I think atm.
Where Oliver reminds me of Oliver Twist and Archie reminds me of Prince Harry or Steve Archie-BALD
Assume he will just become "Freddy"
Almost forgot Muhammad most be on the list somewhere and that one reminds me of "The Greatest"
2020 the year the bubble burst  Doh

Not sure if this was the influence, but I can't hear that name without thinking of some of the greatest poetry ever written.

Yes.

It's funny how these trends come and go, to be honest; within my lifetime, men named Harry and Jack and Wilf were all old 'uns who'd done their time in the trenches. Now they're all kids and pop stars, and you can't find a Nigel under the age of 50. "Arthur" hasn't quite come full circle yet, but I'm sure it's only a matter of time.

1900 is usually about the time, Joshpants, but sometimes I have my first drink even earlier Big Grin

In your lifetime people have also had Æthel at the beginning of their name.
