HeyThereRobot's list "Names you should probably not name your baby" of 2 great name ideas: Tesla - Wylie!

Names you should probably not name your baby

My dad said you guys were probably kidding when you said to send you name ideas, but I really like names (like "I'm subscribed to a forum about names" level of liking) and I have little self control so...I'm sorry.


Full disclosure: these probably aren't practical for real, human children and I do not actually expect you to use any of these. This is actually a pretty self serving list, if I'm being honest.


Congratulations on your tiny human!!!

Tesla

Wylie is a friendly rodeo name with the unisex vibe of Riley and the cowboy air of Wesley and Wyatt. Also spelled as Wiley, two forms have been out of the US charts since the 1940s and 1970s respectively.
 
One of those names with multiple origins, Wylie can be viewed as an English surname, denoting someone from the town of Willey (meaning "from the willow clearing" or "idol's meadow") or someone from the River Wylye (meaning "tricky river"). Alternatively, its a Scots form of the classic William, making this an unexpected way to either honor the traditional name, or to consider as an alternative.
 Contemporary foodies know Wylie Dufresne as a renowned chef and a leading proponent of the molecular gastronomy movement, while others may think of Wile. E Coyote or Wylie Bay in Australia.
 
A recent year saw Wylie chosen for 175 boys (and 65 girls) in the US, revealing it is making subtle shifts up the stats. Wiley was also chosen for 165 boys, and viewed collectively, they would feel as popular as names round the #750 mark, such as Chandler, Murphy, and Salvador.
