She is so great in WIRE IN THE BLOOD! That name is so cool. Goes well with the rest of the family. Good luck.

Agh! I so SO THRILLED that someone finally named their kid Hero! I think I actually squealed when I saw that! It’s one of my all-time favorite names.
Congrats to the well-named family!

I like Hero better for a boy but it’s still a great name. Does Wilf have a meaning? I’ve never heard of the name.
She’s from Cold Feet right? Great series!

I loved her in “Cold Feet” and am so happy she had another baby. Congrats!

Wilf is often the short form of Wilfred which means ‘Will Peace’
I think this little guy is just called Wilf though not Wilfred.

Haha You dont even want to know what i use the word “wilf” for! But i love the same Hero. Its so cute maybe she can team up with Moxie Crimefighter

I’m not a fan of the combo ‘Hero Wheeler’ I don’t think it rolls off the tongue very easily, Hero is an interesting name, but sounds a bit more masculine though.

she’s an incredible actress- i LOVE “cold feet”! congrats to her!

Hi all,
So when Jordan calls her baby Princess she gets slated but Hermione calls her Daughter “Hero” and everyone thinks its lovely? Ok its not my cup of tea but each to thier own.

That’s because Hero is an actual name, Sarah. With a legitimate onomastic history and deep literary roots.
