[Opinions] Wilder?
Would Wilder work as a name for a boy?
Do you think it sounds like names like Walker, Parker and such? (I'm not a great fan of those names, but for some reason Wilder appeals to me)
And how about Ville/ Wille (also for a boy)? How would you pronounce it?

I don't really like Wilder at all for a boy. I wouldn't mind it as a middle name if it were a family surname or something, but otherwise it sounds a bit silly to me. I like Ville a lot. I would pronounce it VEEL-eh (you can listen to it here: http://www.sci.fi/~kajun/finns/male.htm ). I met one of my friend's friends in Finland who had the name.

I hate Wilder, Walker, and Parker. I do think Wilder sounds different. Walker and Parker are titles sort of, or descriptions (as in, he's a walker), Wilder is a comparison (he's wilder than me). Plus it hasn't got a k.
Wille I would pronounce VILL-uh. Like what you live in.

I could never name a boy Wilder because I'm afraid he'd be wild or wilder than most.
Names usually don't go with the person's personality, sometimes it can for example:
My nephew's name Noah means "rest or peace", he is the opposite.

i like wilder for a mn
I like it
It would work, like you say he'd fit in with current trends. But I don't like it. The connotations of "wild" aren't always the greatest thing in the world, and I don't like surnames used as fns unless they have real famiyl significance, and even then I prefer them as a mns.
Never heard of Ville or Wille, but I would be inclined to say Ville like the french word for town. Wille I'm not so sure on how to approach, maybe like Wiley?

Sorry, I don't care much for it, don't like the "wild" part. I've never heard the name Ville/Wille, but it looks either like the word "vile" or a strange spelling for Will.
