Carrie Symonds and Boris Johnson announce name of baby son

Carrie Symonds and Boris Johnson have named their baby son Wilfred Lawrie Nicholas Johnson. See! I told you a couple of years ago that Wilfred was a good name and might make a comeback.

Announcing the name on Instagram, Ms Symonds said the baby was named after the prime minister’s grandfather, Wilfred, and her grandfather, Lawrie.

She added that Nicholas was chosen in honour of the two doctors who saved Mr Johnson’s life while he was ill with coronavirus last month, Dr Nick Price and Dr Nick Hart.

You read it here first. Young Johnson is the third Wilfred/Wilfrid I have heard of in the past year or so. Two good saints and a lot of good Englishmen have been called Wilfred.
