I think that Wolf is a great name. Very strong and masculine. It brings confidence and respect along with high expectations. (I might be a tiny bit biased)

It gives country boy & Viking vibes. The Kardashians are kinda ruining it, the city folks too. I never want to be associated with THAT.

I love the animal... when it's not violent. It's another silly nickname to me but I like how it's 'flow' backwards.

I was attacked by a wolf once while I was walking in the forest alone at night. They're common in Poland and Sweden. I'm okay, I wasn't hurt too bad. I promise I wasn't bothering it, I guess I just got in its way. It was really dark and I couldn't really see anything, and then the wolf just attacked me. Next time I walk in the forest at night, I'm going to bring a flashlight. Besides, it would scare off the Wolf. Then I wouldn't have to kick it in the stomach to save my life. I like wolves, even though I was almost killed by one. This isn't a name I'd use, but it's pretty cool.

The name "Wolf" sounds better as a middle name. The variant "Wolfe" would be better as a first name.

This is such a strong name! I only like one syllable names for boys, they are so much more masculine. This is the best of the animal names for boys (fox, bear, etc.)

I have a hard time believing anybody doesn't like the name Wolf. I had an Army commander named Wolf Hindrichs, and he was amazing. The guy would do anything for us. Dude was a beast. And he was always saying that being named Wolf had made his life easier, but that if he had been short and goofy it would have completely backfired. Whenever someone was having a kid, boy or girl, he would say "Have you considered Wolf?" It was hilarious every time. Man, I miss that guy.

I like wolves. I might change my name to "James Wolf William Lovell-Smith Carruthers" and Lovell means Wolf. This is better as a middle name.

"I think Welf is a German variant of Wolf."
Welf is not a variant of Wolf, but a name in its own right.
It is derived from Old High German "hwelf" meaning "cub", specifically a puppy-dog.

I love the French version of this name, 'Wolv' and plan on using it for my son. I also know a Parisan man named Wolv. This name seems like the bearer would be quite charming.

No idea where the last poster got their info from, but 'Wolv' isn't a French name. Wolf has been used occasionally in France in the last 100 years, but it's extremely rare. Loup (the French word for wolf) is slightly less rare, and had a small popularity spike in 2003, when 87 children were given the name.

Can also be spelled in the French form of 'Wolv'.

Besides for being one of my least favorite animals (isn't saying much, as I'm an animal-lover), it's like a fad for everyone to be obsessed with wolves. It's also sort of awkward as a first name; would make a much better middle name.

Good corny name for a character, but for a person. Does not really seem like a name at all. :|

My nephew's middle name. It's a name that has to be taken with a grain of salt. If you have lengthy or impressive first or last names, it can be a strong, beautiful middle name, but as a first name it seems too animistic-flower-childish to me or like it would be taken as a joke. I think it makes a powerful middle name that can work for either sex, but is easy to overdo.

Wolf is also the Dutch word for the animal and so it's also sometimes used in the Netherlands.

I love the way this name sounds, but I do live in the real world and would therefore probably not use it. But who knows?

Wolf was one of the main characters in the great fantasy miniseries The 10th Kingdom. He was half man, half Wolf, descended from Little Red Riding Hood. He was an awesome character, very, very, hilarious! And handsome! He fell in love with the heroine, Virginia.
