Thoughts on Wilder for a baby boy?
This is what we have (tentatively) decided on if our baby due in June is a boy. Inspired by my all time favorite author, Laura Ingalls Wilder, and I also love that it has a naturey aspect/feel to it and relates to the wilderness. I want to know your honest thoughts: be mean if you want, after all, it’s not about me, it’s about the kid who will grow up with this name. We’re thinking James for a middle name, after my husband’s father. 2nd middle name will be my maiden name, just like the girls have. Last name is 3 syllables. If most people hate it then we’ll change it. I don’t want him to get bullied. The only other name my husband has agreed to and we could possibly still end up with is Atlas. If it were solely up to me, August, Shiloh, Shepherd, River, and Rowan would be on the short list as well, but they’ve all been vetoed by my husband unfortunately. We have 3 daughters named Ivy Josephine, Nora Evangeline, and Clara Maeve. We also really like that it continues our number of letters theme - 3, 4, 5, and then 6 with Wilder.
Thank you!
