LONDON—Boris Johnson and his fiancée Carrie Symonds have named their newborn son Wilfred Lawrie Nicholas, partly as a tribute to two of the intensive care doctors who they said had saved the British leader’s life as he battled COVID-19 complications.

Symonds announced the name on May 2 on Instagram beside a picture of her and the boy, who already has thick hair resembling the blond thatch of his father.
