Okay so after lots and lot's and lot's of No's Wildan is the name we have settled on for DS, I don't care how many people think it's more of a dog's name (which seems to be everyone's answer to a name they don't like on here) I'm sticking with it unless it's universally hated.

I just want to know what you honestly think of it and what's the first think you'd think if you heard this in the playground/park/street

@AuntieStella It's pronounced with a short i so will-dun is correct

@kittymum03 Haven't even thought of nick names but it certainly won't be Willy

@SoWhite It's an Arabic name, that we have no connection to whatsoever but it's the only name after months and months that DH and I can agree on and since I've never heard it either, I'm just trying to figure out what reactions to expect if we stick with it

Never heard of it. Not a big fan, as sounds like it was made up by someone who couldn't decide between will and dan, but I find that even names I'm a bit at on paper are different when baby arrives and you start using it. Just becomes their name.

Do you say it with a short 'i' (a bit like will-dun)?

Do does the first bit rhyme with 'wild'?

Pronounced the first way, I'd assume it was a surname name (not my thing, but a well-established way of naming).

is it a boy or a girl
Did they make it up

I don't hate it but those are my first thoughts

I've never heard of it before at all, for a person or a dog.

What's the background?
