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.

I would not name a girl that. Second association is the potential for Spring Break jokes.

Parents shouldn't start embarrassing their child on Day 1.


You must be old.

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


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

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

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.
