It's a BOY! With the middle name Wilder! Thoughts on a first name?

General Name Discussion

Well, the title pretty much says it all… We found out yesterday we were having a boy! We are almost settled on what his middle name will be…[name]Wilder[/name]. The last name is [name]Allison[/name].

Any thoughts on a first name? We have a few ideas but I don’t want to list them here yet because we are looking for fresh ideas that really go with our surname…

Thanks!!!

Well, with a surname list [name]Allison[/name] I would definitely choose something that’s firmly masculine and firmly a first name and never used as a surname–so people don’t assume it’s flipped around — [name]Allison[/name] [name]Wilder[/name].

I’d probably avoid names ending in -n or -er

This was my initial though as well.
