Personally I think it’s a bold name for a boy. And it certainly hasn’t hurt Wolf Blitzer much in his professional career. I googled it and found this:
Hmmm. Can’t decice between “That’s what she said!” and “Sometimes you’ve just got to take care of your own needs.” I think the Crue has an app for that 
Personally I think Wolf is a fine name.
Take it from a teacher - there WILL be teasing at school, maybe worse. It’s inevitable.
When he cries, he will be
The boy who cried, Wolf.
damn… i cracked…
love it.
I think if you give him a name and teach him to love it and raise him right, then it won’t really matter to him if he gets picked on a little. Wolf is a fine name : )
Just teach him to deal with any harrassment by squinting and saying, “Winter is coming.”
There’s almost no way anyone is going to get through school with any name and not have trouble. If it’s not his name, it’ll be something else at some point. Don’t stress over the name. My brother and I were named after songs that came on the radio while my dad was on the drive to the hospital. We turned out just fine. As long as you don’t name him something totally off the wall like, Apple, Donut, Cheerios, or Golden Palace, it’ll be fine. Wolf is a BA name anyways. That’s one of those names that, if the kid was allowed to pick his own name, he’d name himself Wolf.
Funny side story. A good friend of mine was named after the hospital he was born in. It was a Mormon area so he always cursed his parents for this. “Why couldn’t he have been ‘Steve Young?’ I’m the only Chinese guy on the entire planet named ‘Brigham!’”
Plus, when he has a group of friends, they would be known as his Wolf Pack and no one could argue with him as the leader.
Wow. Just wow. Is it okay if I chime in with an outsider perspective? Although it is certainly within your right to name your kid any whackadoodle name you wish, I beg this of you: don’t. Geeky, nerdy, creative naming has real-world consequences. Your child will suffer with an oddball name at the hands of his schoolmates, beginning in grade school. Kids are cruel, and if your name is peculiar or vaguely rhymes with something, your child may be in for it.
I can respect a family name, if you believe it’s a name that ought to be carried on further, without being a name with consequences like I mentioned above.
My mother was an emergency room nurse for years, and still tells stories about mothers who name their children poorly. Three names stick out still in my long-term: one mother named her girl twins Latrina and Toiletta. Latrine and toilet. Another mother whose last name happened to be King, saw a sign in the hospital, and gave her son the first name “Nosmo”. Nosmo King. No Smoking. Sheesh.
Okay, I’ve said my piece. You can ignore my advice and stories as you wish, it’s your child. Biblical first names may seem dull, but they are less likely to incur severe teasing.
Crom comes to mind.
In that case I think having a creative name actually is better. I mean being called “Joe the Hoe” that’s sucks, and it happens, there’s no escaping it.
I gave myself an English name when I moved to Germany. I named myself Rex. I had no idea what it meant, I picked it because was the shortest name I could find besides Ed in the tiny dictionary I had.
I did not realize how silly the name is in Germany or there’s a frakking dinosaur named with it. I just saw it means King in Latin.
Turns out kids would call me Rex the dog , because it’s a very popular name to name a dog.
When I moved to the US later, kids would call me Sexy Rexy, cause it rhymed.
Then people would call me Stegosaurus Rex because, well Tyrannosaurus Rex, and that I am a vegetarian.
Now come to think of it, because it wasn’t a usual name, the crap other people came up with are actually kind of cool.
I’ve heard there’s a family with Cano as their last name, which isn’t odd. But they chose to name their kids Ameri, Mexi, Vol. So their full name sounds like Americano, Mexicano and Volcano. I mean that’s just awesome, no matter how people try to make fun of it.
Wolf to me is one of such names, its a Wolf. No matter what it do with it, it’s still cool.
It’s very cool that you’re so well-adjusted. I was a very sensitive child, and classmates of mine in grade school sought any excuse to be mean.
When I first went to Germany I spoke next to no English. There was some Iranian kid in my school, who used to get his friends and come over and ask “Are you a gay?” He would make it sound very close to “Are you OK”. And if I said yes, they would point and laugh.
Kids are just mean. But they stop being mean when you smack them over the head with a drawing board. Well, I stopped short of hitting his face, and that works too.
I was a pretty sensitive kid, but for whatever reason I was immune to that kind of teasing. I’d just look at whoever was trying to start with me and say, “That’s stupid.” Nothing stuck.
Sir Pike of Teflon! 
They pick on someone they think they can get away with it. Even someone with a common name is not immune from the teasing. I was called Brab, Brap, …and mostly Crip cause I was on crutches for a couple of years, when I was in 3rd & 4th grades. The bullies even got to the point of walking by at recess and punching me…they found out fast that wood crutches can be used as a weapon. Luckily I never got caught pinging them with them. :shifty: And they went back to the name calling…quick like.
I think the key was that I genuinely believed that they were all stupid puns. If I was trying to front, they’d probably have seen through that.
And I remember my brother getting kicked by a bully. Fortunately, my bro was wearing leg braces at the time. Good times.
Thank you for all the comments. I think we got it sorted out.
