ETA that most of these combos include a name (usually middle) that honors somebody. Mostly relatives, but Rosalind Franklin and the biblical prophet Ezekiel get nods as well since I ran out of relatives I wanted to honor.

Thanks! Wilder is after my husband's grandmother. Her name is Wilda (WILL-da, not wild+a, but I pronounce Wilder like wild+er anyway), but she doesn't like her name and I'm not especially inclined to use it either. Wilder occurred to me as an honoring possibility that's more interesting than William and nicer-sounding than Willard. Plus it has a nice association with my childhood favorite author Laura Ingalls Wilder :)

I just thought of Esme Quinn yesterday! Glad someone else likes it too.
