Our neighbors have a boy named Maverick and I cringe every time I hear it. Just seems like they’re trying way too hard… |

| I immediately thought of Thornton. I don’t know much about him personally but he wrote great works so not a bad association, to my mind. |

Friend's nephew just named his son Wolf. Not Wolfgang but Wolf. Let the howling begin. |

There's a Remington on our street. Maybe his baby brother will be Glock. |

Wilder should only be one of a set of triplets: Wild, Wilder, and Wildest. These children should be studied their entire lives to learn whether such naming influences outcomes.
Same with Walt, Walter, and Waltest. |
