I’ve recently been crushing on the name Wylder for a boy with the nickname [name_u]Wylie[/name_u]. What do you guys think about the name? I’m just curious as to what people think of the name and how the general public would respond to it if I ever used it in the future.
I quite like Wylder and nickname [name_u]Wylie[/name_u]. Though I do think of [name_u]Wylie[/name_u] Coyote, that association would fade if I met a little [name_u]Wylie[/name_u].
Although I usually dislike ‘Y’ spellings of names, I think Wylder takes some of the ‘wild’ out of [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] and helps to ground it a little.
I think Wylder is difficult to find a middle for as it can sound like you’re describing a person - Wydler [name_u]James[/name_u], he’s more wild than regular [name_u]James[/name_u]…
I much prefer the spelling [name_m]Wilder[/name_m]. I think you could still easily use the nickname [name_u]Wylie[/name_u]. Nicknames do not even have to be tied to the name. I have asked about [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] on the forum and to friends and family and have gotten mostly positive responses. I have [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] [name_u]Pax[/name_u] or [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] [name_m]Thackeray[/name_m] on my list.
I love the sound, but I much prefer the spelling [name_m]Wilder[/name_m].
I’m with the others. I prefer [name_m]Wilder[/name_m]. And you can still use the nickname [name_u]Wylie[/name_u]/[name_m]Wiley[/name_m]. I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] [name_m]Wilder[/name_m]. For me, I love that it makes me think of nature and deep forests untouched by man and it makes me think of my mom (for [name_f]Laura[/name_f] Ingells [name_m]Wilder[/name_m]). On my list, I have it as a middle in [name_u]Loki[/name_u] [name_m]Morpheus[/name_m] [name_m]Wilder[/name_m].
[name_u]Love[/name_u] love love [name_m]Wilder[/name_m], with this spelling.
I like the name [name_m]Wilder[/name_m], spelled this way, but I could definitely see the negative connotations. “He definitely is [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] than the other kids!” or something silly like that comes to mind.
[name_u]Wylie[/name_u] was a favorite of mine, for a girl though. [name_m]Wiley[/name_m] is also a surname in my area, so I could never have used it anyway.
I love [name_m]Wilder[/name_m]! I am pregnant now and this is the only boy name I love , or even really like at all! I’m trying to get my husband to love it but he’s not having it.
Yip, this just about sums up my opinion.
It looks misspelled, and [name_m]Wiley[/name_m] is a surname…is it in your family history?
