My husband's family has had a lot of names with "Wulf" as the beginning or the end. We don't really like any of the full names (like Aethelwulf) but we want to give our son a family name. Is Wulf (pronounced like wolf) too out there?

I like the spelling Wolf better then Wulf. Why not just use the name Wolf? You will still be using the same name just spelled a little differently. And if you want to have a full name then use Wolfgang.

Here's an easy way to test a name:
Have your husband spend a few days trying out the name. Have him go to a bar and introduce himself as "Wulf." Then, gage how people react -- if it's people laugh, it's a no; if people are intrigued, it's a yes.

Definitely unique. Sounds like the German names in my fam. I don't think I'd personally go with it... but perhaps you could add to it and make wulf just part of the name.
Hmmmm... maybe...
Aulswulf (like Os-wald)
Raewulf
Beauwulf
Ginwulf
It would definitely end up being unlike any other name.

Hi, I think you should consider Wulf as a middle name, its a mad name but not as a first name. I had to comprise with my hubby and use Leif as a middle name instead of a first name.
Only because of how cruel kids can be, as my hubby knows a bloke called Kelly (Kelly is a girls name in Australia)

Not really, there are people called Wulf. A company called Focke-Wulf made planes in WW2. Nothing whatsoever to do with copulating canines, but there you are.

It's painful.
If you name your kid "Wulf" it's borderline child abuse in my opinion.
I can only imagine the abuse your son would get throughout life with that name...and god forbid if the guy has any body hair...please reconsider or at least stick it in there as a middle name...that way it will do the smallest amount of damage.

no offense but when i read your question i though of chilli. It is up to you what you want for your child, if it is a family name that you really want to pass down then i say go for it maybe use if for a middle name or something.
like dakota wulf or something

Are you really serious about this.
Stop and think about your child and the amount of criticism and ridicule he might have to endure at the hands of his classmates.Just because of someones far fetched tradition
I am all for carrying on the family traditions BUT some traditions really need to be broken --Be the first in your family to start their own tradition or name the child after "Uncle Bob"

Hey, it's up to you. My family names are all welsh, and I'd never wish "Dhu" or "Iowerth" on anyone who has to decide my nursing home. But "Wulf" is far superior.
Maybe make it a middle name?

That is such a killer name! You could go with names like Beowulf (after the poem and the fabled German hero) or Wulfgang (Wolfgang). It would be cool to keep the family name and you definitely won't have to worry about having a trendy name for your son!
