HelpWyeth
I think this is the first time I have ever fallen in love with a total guilty pleasure. While I greatly dislike Wyatt, I'm entranced by Wyeth -- the combination of the plaintive "wy" and the susurrant "th" makes me swoon. For the record, I admire several of Andrew Wyeth's paintings (especially the Helga portraits), but I don't think of Wyeth as an homage to the artist. What do you think?
Here are some combos:
Wyeth Abner
Wyeth Abraham
Wyeth Abram
Wyeth Ambrose (swoooon)
Wyeth Anselm
Wyeth Anton
Wyeth Antony
Wyeth Archibald
Wyeth Armand
Wyeth Arno
Wyeth Arnold
Wyeth Auberon
Wyeth Aubrey
Wyeth Augustus
Wyeth Avner
Wyeth Avram
Wyeth Bernard
Wyeth Bertrand
Wyeth Carlo
Wyeth Conrad
Wyeth Corentin
Wyeth Edgar
Wyeth Edmond / Edmund
Wyeth Elmer
Wyeth Elmo
Wyeth Emeric
Wyeth Ferdinand

Wyeth Julian

Personally, its seems kind of...fragile. I don't know how else to put it. It makes me listless. Although, I have to say that I like Blythe on a boy and I get a similar vibe from it.

Aw, I love fragility! It's especially appealing when attributed to male names.

I love Andrew Wyeth, and the name itself is beautiful and melodious.
These combos of yours catch my eye:
Wyeth Abram - This combo has a delicate ruggedness about it, a romantic wild west aura. I am really loving this one
Wyeth Anselm - this one seems extra artistic, very poetic
Wyeth Elmo - darling!
Wyeth Ferdinand - I'll never reject a good Ferdinand combo
Wyeth Ingram - very chic
Wyeth Ivo - edgy and bold
Wyeth Julian - adore this one, I enjoy Wyeth's watercolour spirit next to Julian's jewel-richness.

I personally think that far more people are going to associate Wyeth with the pharmaceutical company of the same name, rather than with the painter Andrew Wyeth. Especially in the United States, which is the most medicated country in the world. As such, if you live in the United States, you might want to use Wyeth as a middle name instead. The pharmaceutical company no longer exists (as of 2009) and therefore a child with the name is unlikely to be bullied for his name by his peers, but adults might still make the occasional comments about it (not necessarily mean-spirited) to him *and* you for some time to come (as I expect that the pharmaceutical company will remain in the collective memory for a while).

That aside, I personally don't care for the look of Wyeth. It kind of looks like a femininisation of Wyatt, because I feel like -eth is more commonly seen in feminine names (mainly thinking of Gwyneth and similar Welsh names here). As a result, I prefer Wyatt for a boy, because it looks sturdier and is also simply already fully established as a boy's name. But if you're absolutely set on using Wyeth, then it's probably best to pair it with a name that is not only more traditional, but also more firmly masculine. That way, there would be a nice balance between the slight unusualness and femininity of Wyeth and the normalcy and masculinity of the other name.

I had no idea about the pharmaceutical company! I think of the artist first too.
Maybe the pharmaceutically-named Wyeth could have a brother named Loris, after the alcohol wipes in the doctor's office (http://www.lernapharm.com/products/loris_alcohol_swabs.cfm)? ;)

Oh! I live in the United States, and I had no idea that a pharmaceutical company by that name existed.
Regardless, I'm merely fantasizing -- I have no intentions of having and naming children in the foreseeable future. Also, I love "male" names that evoke "femininity."

It just sounds like Wyatt with a lisp, I'm afraid.
