Wilfred vs. Alfred vs. Manfred

Naming our first after my dad, Frederick, (if Pumpkin is a girl her name will be Winifred) but we can't decide which of these -fred names we love the most. I'm leaning towards Wilfred but my DH is split between Alfred and Manfred. We are open to other names ending in 'fred' but I think we've found them all, also side note we are not considering Frederick/Frederica we want our baby to have their own unique name but still give a nod towards my dad. Middle name suggestions are more than welcome because we have zero ideas for either sex. Thanks! -Regina, Cameron and Pumpkin 🎃

I chose Alfred as it's the best to me of the choices.
There is also Linfred, Renfred & Sigfred.
Renfred could be cute with Ren as the nickname.

Alfred Henry
Alfred Isaac
Alfred Cane/Kane
Alfred Luke

Perhaps consider whether you'd like the nickname Will or Al better...even if you don't plan on using a nickname, others might shorten it or he might decide when he's older that he wants a nickname. Manfred is not appealing to me, but I could go for Wilfred or Alfred. I like your way of acknowledging your dad while still giving your child his/her own name. We did something similar with our first child and it's worked out beautifully.
The only other name that comes to mind is the German name Gottfried (got-freed, so not quite Fred), but I think your current options are better.
For girls there's Fredonia (freh-DOH-nia), but again I think Winifred is just as good.

Wilfred gmv. Love how old it is, plus the darling nn Wilf. Freddie too.

Love Alfred and Winifred too. Historic names-a-go-go. Catnip. There's something comical about Manfred. I can't put my finger on it. It must be the "man" part. In a purely nerdy way it's awesome. I just wouldn't want to go through life as one.
