Baby Name

[maggiebee]

Just read that BoJo's baby boy is to be called Wilfred Lawrie Nicholas Johnson.

[Apc2604]

You are right Jno! Sorry. Still a good strong name though.

[Canary42]

Decent names. Beckham would have chosen something like Seven-up ;-)

[rowanwitch]

Who were both Nicks

[Ken4155]

"Beckham would have chosen something like Seven-Up." Given BoJo's propensity for daft names (Lara Lettice, Milo Arthur, Theodore Apollo and Cassia Peaches) it's surprising he didn't follow suit with something like, Brexit Dominic Election Winner Johnson.

Apparently, baby was born 40 weeks after the day Boris was made PM..
I think his names are lovely, nice to have family names, and also the two doctors who treated Boris.

[237SJ]

Seems like the names were decided by Boris and his intended didn't have much input.

[Mozz71]

So if the little one is wearing a white woollen sweater, would that make him a Wilf in sheep's clothing?

I'll get my hat...

[Vagus]

I imagine she had the same input that lots of new parents have...his grandfather, her grandfather, and two doctors who were instrumental in helping Boris make it through, to whom I’m sure Carrie is very grateful.
I’d bet if she wasn’t up for any of those names, she’d have let it be known.

Poor kid. What a dreadful name. At school he will be called Wille.

[Mamyalynne]

He won't be the only Wilf in hiss peer group.

* his

[diddlydo]

What will Boris's next sprogs be called?

[naomi24]

Are you taking bets, diddly?

[TheWholeTruth]

you just cant bring yourself to call them kids or babies can you...
more snidey little digs...what a pathetic non-entity you are...you cant hide it...its your nature

[naomi24]

Yes, diddly. Where is your Christian love for your fellow man?

[emmie]

could end up being call Will, or Freddy, i think its a jolly name, good luck to the baby and parents.

[Mozz71]

To be fair to Diddly, I call babies "sprogs" too. It's not an offensive term like "brat" or something similar. This time, she really has done nothing to deserve your ire!

[diddlydo]

Thank you Mozz - nothing wrong with the word "sprog".
Naomi - one of my Christian values is "Thou shall not commit adultery".

[rowanwitch]

That's old testament, Christ wasn't born when Moses went up the mountain for two tablets, I expect the chemist was shut

[Souldarkness]

I am surprised it wasn't Winston
