I cannot shake [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] but I cannot say for sure I could commit to him either. [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] is very special to me. I have [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] [name_m]Thackeray[/name_m] and [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] [name_u]Pax[/name_u] as middle names now. I have also considered [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] [name_m]Boone[/name_m], love [name_m]Asher[/name_m] [name_m]Boone[/name_m], but [name_m]Boone[/name_m] is a bit out-of-the-box. I am thinking I might be more comfortable with [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] if I had a middle name that still fit with my favorites but a more comfortable name, for lack of a better word.

I just read your other post that you’re not sure if you’re “too chicken or not” to use the name [name_m]Wilder[/name_m]… I’m totally feeling the same way about naming my child [name_m]Archer[/name_m] and I’m 35 weeks pregnant with him lol and husband is 100% decided I’m just a bit worried still… what do you think of [name_m]Archer[/name_m] compared to for example [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] and [name_m]Fox[/name_m]? Is it the same, or do you see it as being any more usable? Or less usable?? [name_f]My[/name_f] dd calls him [name_m]Archie[/name_m] and my hubby is 100% sure of it and I think I would super regret it if I didn’t use it, but still I’m worried!!
Are you looking for a traditional sounding middle name like this:
[name_m]Wilder[/name_m] [name_m]Andrew[/name_m]
[name_m]Wilder[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m]
[name_m]Wilder[/name_m] [name_m]Charles[/name_m]
[name_m]Wilder[/name_m] [name_m]George[/name_m]
[name_m]Wilder[/name_m] [name_m]Philip[/name_m]
Something that’s merely well known but not necessarily traditional like these:
[name_m]Wilder[/name_m] [name_m]Brandon[/name_m]
[name_m]Wilder[/name_m] [name_u]Kyle[/name_u]
[name_m]Wilder[/name_m] [name_m]Jason[/name_m]
[name_m]Wilder[/name_m] [name_m]Preston[/name_m]
[name_m]Wilder[/name_m] [name_m]Joshua[/name_m]
Or something more along these lines- more what’s popular (relatively speaking) now:
[name_m]Wilder[/name_m] [name_m]Declan[/name_m]
[name_m]Wilder[/name_m] [name_u]Elliot[/name_u]
[name_m]Wilder[/name_m] [name_m]Ronan[/name_m]
[name_m]Wilder[/name_m] [name_u]Mason[/name_u]
[name_m]Wilder[/name_m] [name_m]Lucas[/name_m]
@alphabetters: If I may butt in, I think [name_m]Archer[/name_m] is great, and I don’t think it’s wild in the least (possibly since it’s so close to [name_m]Arthur[/name_m], a very old name), it just sounds fresher.
What about [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] [name_u]Jude[/name_u], [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] [name_u]Everett[/name_u], [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m], [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] [name_u]Gray[/name_u]…
I adore [name_m]Archer[/name_m]. I go back and fourth with [name_m]Asher[/name_m] and [name_m]Archer[/name_m]. That is the funny thing. I could use [name_m]Archer[/name_m] (or [name_m]Asher[/name_m]) without a thought but worry about [name_m]Wilder[/name_m]. I personally could not use [name_m]Fox[/name_m], even though I love the combo she has of [name_m]Fox[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]. I see [name_m]Archer[/name_m] more useable than [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] and [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] more usable than [name_m]Fox[/name_m]. I wonder why I view [name_m]Archer[/name_m] and [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] differently. Actually this conversation makes me less concerned about [name_m]Wilder[/name_m].
I think it’s so sweet that your daughter calls him [name_m]Archie[/name_m]. I think you should for sure use [name_m]Archer[/name_m]. I can easily see [name_m]Archer[/name_m] on a boy and on a man.
Thank you, pacifica. Two that jumped out at me while just glancing at the names were [name_m]Preston[/name_m] and [name_u]Elliot[/name_u]. I quite like [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] [name_m]Preston[/name_m] and [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] [name_u]Elliot[/name_u], like them a whole lot.
I am not too fond of the traditional names. I do like [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] and [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] [name_m]Charles[/name_m]. [name_m]Henry[/name_m] and [name_m]Charles[/name_m] would both honor family members (my dad and my late grandpa). They just do not speak to me like all of my favorites.
I also like [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] [name_m]Declan[/name_m] and [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] [name_m]Ronan[/name_m]. I like them more than [name_m]Henry[/name_m] and [name_m]Charles[/name_m] but they are still not grabbing me.
As I type this I keep thinking about [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] [name_u]Elliot[/name_u]. Of course that would be another E, among so many Es. 
But I am really liking the combo. [name_u]Elliot[/name_u] is very high on our list.
Thank you, ad10.
I really like [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] [name_u]Everett[/name_u] but we would not want to give-up on [name_u]Everett[/name_u] as a first name. I am really liking [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] [name_u]Jude[/name_u] and [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] [name_u]Gray[/name_u].
I know a little [name_m]Archer[/name_m] and am confident that [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] is just as wearable. I would personally pair it with something rustic and outdoorsy.

[name_m]Wilder[/name_m] [name_u]Elliot[/name_u] was my favorite of the suggestions I put in, so I think it’s definitely handsome. Here’s a few more:

Thank you, lerenard. [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] [name_m]Moss[/name_m] is very cool. It would not give me that save name as a middle name though. [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] [name_m]Amos[/name_m] definitely gives me the feel I really like. Unsure [name_m]Amos[/name_m] feels save to me. I had to look-up [name_m]Tilden[/name_m]. I really like the sound of [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] [name_m]Tilden[/name_m]. [name_m]Ernest[/name_m] is a family name. Normally I feel neutral to disliking toward [name_m]Ernest[/name_m] but I do like the sound of [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] [name_m]Ernest[/name_m]. I like [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] [name_m]Silas[/name_m] also but prefer the flow of [name_m]Silas[/name_m] [name_m]Wilder[/name_m]. I am not too fond of the others.
I am finding myself more and more attracted to [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] [name_u]Elliot[/name_u].
From this list I am really loving; [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] [name_u]August[/name_u], [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] [name_m]Finnegan[/name_m] (would give the options of [name_u]Finn[/name_u] and [name_u]Finley[/name_u]), and [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] [name_m]Levi[/name_m]. Many I love but not feeling them as middle names to [name_m]Wilder[/name_m].
[name_f]Glad[/name_f] you like them! I like pp’s suggestion of [name_m]Amos[/name_m], it’s a very cool name and sounds great with [name_m]Wilder[/name_m]. [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] [name_m]Ernest[/name_m] makes me think of [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] Wilde’s “The Importance of Being [name_m]Ernest[/name_m]” (not a bad association, it’s actually a favorite play of mine).
