I'll probably be flamed for this - sounds like trailer trash, sorry.

Is Sam Taylor-Wood's baby

Shumway, you're right. I really don't like it and wondered if I was being harsh, but Sam Taylor-Wood and Aaron Johnson have indeed called their newborn Wylda Rae.

I like it. Sounds like a writer out on the prairies.

Wouldn't work in Basingstoke though.

Hyphenated names are awful. Wydla is awful. It's awful.

Horrible. Wylda-Beast

But are they two names really hyphenated or is Mae just the middle name?

I'm not sure how to pronounce Wylda and probably wouldn't choose it myself, but am surprised at your negative responses...

Has Sam lost her marbles?

I had a PE teacher called Wylda. Never heard of it before or since.

I wonder if her boy friend chose it. Read it off the label of one of his cabbage patch dolls.

Wylda isn't that bad, is it? I'm not keen on Rae as middle name though.

wild array of opinions here Wink

Well, it wouldn't really be on my shortlist but I can't see why it's so terrible. If some folk had their way, every little girl would be called Ellie, Evie and Olivia. Hooray for variety, I reckon :-)

I agree, while Wylda wouldn't be top of my list, I actually find it quite sweet and think it suits a little girl as well as a grown woman. Shouldn't we be try to encourage more diversity in names rather than naming all our girls Grace or Evie or Emily etc....
