Wilder not quite wild enough for you? Wylder offers a less wordy looking alternative that looks cool and on-trend, but also has a preppy, last-name vibe. Though this spelling is currently less popular than Wilder, it did enter the US Top 1000 in 2020 and is given to around 400 babies each year - about half the number that are given the Wilder spelling.
If it's a totally off the beaten track boys' name you're looking for, Wyndham, Wycliffe, and Whittaker are some unusual W names.
