A baby brother for Wilder

Boy Names
1

When I named my first born, it was a no-brainer, as I already had a beloved name in mind before I became pregnant with him. Come pregnancy number 2, and I was CERTAIN that I would get my girl, so I focused on female names until I found out a week ago that I am in fact having another darling bb BOY…smh

Having accepted that and now looking forward (happily) to another dude, I’m at a loss for a name. Husband and I are both picky, and we have a last name which, paired with certain first names, sounds like we are naming a supervillain. Our last name is Smoak, pronounced Smoke, so names like [name_u]Blaze[/name_u] and [name_u]Ash[/name_u] are out. Big brother is named [name_m]Wilder[/name_m], and we are hoping to find a name that is unique, expressive and masculine. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!!

A couple of names that are in the maybe pile, for reference-

[name_f]Aster[/name_f]
[name_f]Briar[/name_f]
[name_m]Ewan[/name_m]
[name_u]Sawyer[/name_u]

2

[name_m]Judson[/name_m] and [name_m]Truman[/name_m] came to mind

3

[name_m]Thatcher[/name_m] and [name_m]Wilder[/name_m]. :slight_smile: I like that!

4

[name_m]Collin[/name_m], [name_m]Clive[/name_m], [name_u]Owen[/name_u], [name_m]Felix[/name_m], [name_m]Ulysses[/name_m], [name_m]Emil[/name_m], [name_m]Oscar[/name_m], [name_m]Victor[/name_m], [name_m]Quentin[/name_m], [name_m]Maxwell[/name_m], [name_u]Dexter[/name_u] and [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m].

[name_u]Jude[/name_u], [name_m]Asher[/name_m], [name_u]Theo[/name_u], [name_m]Liam[/name_m], [name_m]Maxwell[/name_m], [name_u]August[/name_u]

I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] [name_m]Wilder[/name_m]! That’s a hard one because [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] has such a unique balance of qualities - unique but not weird, down to earth but interesting, masculine & nature inspired, distinguished, uncommon etc.

I really like [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u] & [name_m]Ewan[/name_m], but I’m wondering if [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u] is special & unique enough. [name_m]Ewan[/name_m] would be my first choice.

Some others I like,

[name_m]Evander[/name_m]*
[name_m]Quillan[/name_m]
[name_u]Niall[/name_u]* - means passionate or cloud
[name_u]Everest[/name_u]
[name_m]Eamon[/name_m]*
[name_u]Alden[/name_u]
[name_m]Callum[/name_m]*
[name_m]Cullen[/name_m]
[name_u]Darby[/name_u]
[name_m]Lachlan[/name_m]
[name_u]Ellis[/name_u]
