Wilder?

[abbie777]

What do you think of Wilder for a boy? Do you think it works? I also like Ricer too☺️.

It’s very American.

I really like Wilder. And those sort of surname type names are not generally to my taste.

River is just about ok
Ricer is ridiculous- see potato ricer above
Wilder, as a pp has said, sets the child up to fail. It says what sort of child you want; and he may be nothing like that.

It’s bad. Maybe you have a temporary mid pregnancy name madness? I know I did I came up with some right horrors for dd1. She is 14 now and 🙄 about my choices she would hate to be called those mad names. Came to my senses fortunately her name is amazing and she loves it.

I did too! I came up with Agamemnon for DS1. It's a fabulous Greek name, of course, but we are not Greek and it would have seemed a little odd for us to have done it.

Not keen on either

Awful sorry but Ricer is even worse so if you must then go Wilder

Is Ricer even a serious suggestion?

Typo for River

Mine was Lorelai which is out there anyway but with our surname (two syllable both begin with l) it would have been properly mental tongue twister. Worse dh went along with it he had no excuse!

Yawn. I’m a teacher too. I’d rather have a Wilder than my five thousandth Jessica/Harry/Charlie/Amelia.
