We can't, can we?

So my husband and I have recently decided we really like the name Wilf (admittedly this could be hormonal craziness).

However our surname is Wild.

Does this totally veto it or can it work because of the different sound of Wild to Wilf?

So Wilf Wild, yes or no?

If you call your child Wolfric Wild he will grow up assuming you hate him. As will most other people.

Wolf Wild is better in terms of beastly, animalistic appeal. By the same token, Bear Wild could work.
Tiger Wild?
Lion Wild?
Bison Wild?
Wildebeest Wild ? (that would be my fave)

Wild would have been a good name for one of those early English popstars like Billy Fury and Georgie Fame. But apparently there was one, Marty Wilde, father of me, Kim!

Blimey!

It’s a pretty cool name! Go for it!

I think it's great as long as he is a super cool adventurer type.
