Wilder/Wylder/Clover/Mavis/Saylor - baby girl name help please!!

[WorkingMomofFour]

We are expecting baby girl #3 - which will be baby #4 and are super stuck on names! Other kids names: Brighton Amalee, Turner Brandon, Rixley Elizabeth.

I have the name Wilder/Wylder really stuck in my head for her but want to hear feedback on thoughts for using that name for a little girl.

Also really like Clover - my bday is st. Patricks day and she would be lucky #4. But, not sure the name works yet or not?!

Mavis and Saylor are our safer options, but I keep coming back to Wilder/Wylder.

Appreciate any and all feedback!!! We would probably do Marie for middle name or something simple and more feminine. Thanks everyone!!!

Dover Marie?

I think Wilder works best with your existing DC

But clover is nothing to do with Ireland or St.Patrick’s Day …. Shamrock is what you are thinking about that but that’s even worse than the others ….

And yes I know shamrock is a type of clover but clover is not associated with Ireland

Clover has 4 legs - most commonly a cow! I don't think Mavis is nice enough to be due a revival any time soon. I'm not a fan of Wilder but given your other names, and the fact it's unlikely you're in the UK I'd say it's the best option

I also associate Clover with What Katy Did. Been a million years since I read it and all I can really remember is she was a sweet natured girl with poker straight blonde hair who hated the rigmarole of having it curled.

I keep thinking of Clover spread and Mavis Beacon Teaches typing. I also get Gene Wilder for Wiler/Wylder, but I like it the best.

Very diplomatic!

If you are in the U.K. those name options just seem really weird, well Elizabeth is lovely, but where on earth did you get Rixley from? Give your child a name that future employers won't file under BIN if they apply. I've worked for a woman in hr who filtered out cvs because of "chavvy names" I'm not saying it's right but it happens.

Brighton and Rixley. Wow. Poor girls.

It's so true, even if it shouldn't be. If you've only the time fo interview one applicant, are you going to interview 'Emma' or 'Chardonnay'?

I'm a swimming teacher and this morning my colleague handed me a list of names, she'd split the class in to two groups, beginners and swimmers. I glanced at my list and walked off to get the armbands ready before she pointed out to me that she hadn't actually told me which group I had. I had been correct.

Well given you've already gone down the path of "very alternative" names, you can't call her Jane now can you?

I assume Turner is your boy?

Mavis is an awesome grandma name and really pretty.

Clover I love too.

I'm not keen on Saylor or Wylder.

Oh how I wish you'd asked MN about your other children's names

Mavis doesn't really go with the other names which are of a theme.

Wilder/Wylder - it would certainly fit with your other names, which is about as much as I can say.

Clover is nothing to do with St Patrick's Day, that's a shamrock. It's what you call a horse or a cow.

Saylor - dear god no.

I much prefer the spelling: Sailor Or Wilder

Pascoe
Shiloh
Piper
Harley

Wilder/Wylder - awful - a big name to live up to.

Clover - it will always be a cow's name to me, but I like the reasons why you've chosen it. Best out of the 4 I'd say.

Mavis - terrible, granny name - what about Maeve? Beautiful, strong name with an interesting history.

Saylor - no, particularly not with this spelling. Skye?

How about something like Cleo, Astrid, Nova, Lyra, Wren, Juno, Zuri, Azalea?

Clover is lovely. The others are certainly not.

It's in England.[/quote]
Soz got mixed up . Wherever it is it's a terrible name!

Clover is charming.

Wylder/Wilder sounds like a boy to me; same with Saylor.

Is this a wind-up?

@Itsafineday

Clover is a cow's name

Saylor is awful and cheesy.

Mavis is an old sour faced woman.

Wylder ( not Wilder) is ok,I quite like it but not quite to my taste (but looking at your other kids names I doubt we have the same taste! )

It would be boring if we all liked the same things though!

Clover, I like this one. Unusual but not weird. Good balance. No negative connotations.

Saylor - oh. my. God. Are you kidding? I can't believe you're serious. This is awful. Reminds me of a woman in every port, I don't know, seems a bit predatory and/or seedy. Sorry.

Mavis is no worse than Iris in my opinion. I don't like either. maeve is much softer.

Wilder is a boys name.

As a pp says, if we all liked the same names it'd be a boring world.

Seeing as the OP hasn’t been back, and this was her only post... most likely

Seriously awful. If you like any of them why not change your own name OP?
