Do you like this name for a boy?

Question

The name is Wilder. I recently heard it used for a friend of my family. I like it actually. It seems to follow the recent trend of using surnames for first names.

If you do like it which spelling do you prefer: Wilder or Wylder?

Answer 1

no! not such a great name...

Answer 2

Im not sure I like it a whole lot but wilder is better than wylder

Answer 3

i really like the same its very cute and my favorite spelling is Wylder

Answer 4

Be careful.  

I knew a kid once named Demón ("Desmond").

It suited him well.

Answer 5

It's not bad. I would go with Wilder. Wylder looks awful. It reminds me of Wylers like the brand.  

Answer 6

I'm not a big fan, but you know what.. it's your baby and you should name him whatever you want.. I like it spelt Wylder better. Good Luck & Congrats. xo  

Answer 7

Sounds like a surname, and it reminds me of Almonzo Wilder.

But if you're going to use it, use Wilder. Wylder looks horrid.

Answer 8

It is not too bad.. I would use the "i" .... Congrats on the baby..  

Answer 9

i dont like it.. sorry

Answer 10

I don't like it.

Hunter is a similar name...I think that's cute.

Answer 11

I also like the name Hunter better. I wouldn't go with Wilder.

Answer 12

No, I don't like it. I can see the teasing now... "Wilder than what?" Wylder looks even worse.

Answer 13

sorry but I do not care for it!

Answer 14

I think it's a bit out there, but if it's a family name, it works. I would spell it however it's spelled in the family, athough I highly prefer Wilder.

Answer 15

Nice! Really masculine. Some others you might like:

Tucker

Hunter

Sawyer

Walker

Answer 16

No sorry not a good name for him I agree with julie hunters similar and a cute name :)

Answer 17

No, I don't like it. My favourite name for a Boy is Tyreese.  Favourite name for a girl is Freya.

Answer 18

i like it, i thik its cute!

Answer 19

It definately has something...and I like Wilder (not Wylder). It is German and means 'hunter'. It does sound like a hunter's name -- kind of danerous but strong and courageous!

Answer 20

Eck.  No.  No, please!  Leave that one as a last name.  Why would you name your child wild?

Answer 21

I dont really like it. I agree with everyone who said Hunter.

Answer 22

sorry, but i don't really like it

Answer 23

Nope

Answer 24

I think it is cute, it's your choice.  My son has a very uncommon name, Selassie Iyah, and we are expecting our second child (who will be named Mosiah) in January.  EVERYONE names there child HUNTER.  I want my children to be the only children with there name, not sitting among the 10 other children in the room with the same name.  So it is totally up to you, and uncommon different names are more in style than ever.  So, be creative and trust your own judgment.

Answer 26
