I used Wilder for something on here a while ago. The combo was Cormac Wilder and it has been in my head ever since.

Wilder's not exactly my style -- however, I find it handsome and mysteriously appealing.

Am I the only one who thinks of Almanzo Wilder?

---

Not a bad association to have, though. I always thought he sounded hot. :)

Cute but not for actual use unless your child is going to be the next Bear Grylls!

I think it would be sweet on a spunky puppy though!

I like it. It's definitely a surname, but I still think it works.

Personally, I think Wilder is a handsome, soft yet strong name for a little boy. I LOVE Wilder August. The names complement each other fabulously.

I do like Wilder and the A-Z combos reminded me of that. I've not tried pairing him, but I'll give it a go. I do think Wilder August is nice.

I'd be a bit leery of using it in fear that the child be either really rambunctious and fit his name or really really shy and quiet and it'd be rather ironic. :o)
That said, I don't mind the sound of it. Wilder August is pretty sweet, actually.
I know a Grayson Wilder Johann, which has always struck me as a delightfully eclectic combo.

What about
Wilder Augustine
Wilder Augustus
Wilder Felix
Wilder Ephraim
Wilder Cedric
Wilder Cyril
Wilder Valentin
Like any?

I like the IDEA of Wilder but it sounds too much like a description to me and would only use it as a MN personally.

---

Wilder August looks nice but sounds to me like a phrase "We're going to have a wilder August this year than last"

---

I suppose if you're pronouncing it with a soft 'i' that would make a difference but if so I don't much care for its similarity to Wilbur - which is all pig to me.
