Opinions on baby name choices

My husband and I are at a standstill in deciding on the name of our second little boy who will be born in a few months here. We had no trouble naming our first son (Evan Daniel - Evans is his mother's maiden name and Daniel is my father's name) and have narrowed it down to two possible choices. Hoping for opinions on these two: Henry James or Wilder James. James is my husband's father's name and we have agreed that it will be the baby's middle name. I am concerned about the "nickname" for each of these and we don't care for Hank, which is the common short of Henry. We were thinking Will or Wil (pronounced "while") for Wilder. Any suggestions or comments?? THANKS!

Prefer Wilder over Henry. Love the shorten version Will.
Both go with Evan mind you!
Happy deciding!

DEFINATELY Henry. And I would never think to call a Henry Hank unless I heard someone else call him that. If you call him Henry - so will other people. Wilder is just not my speed. To me, it sounds made up. I tend to like more traditional names, so feel free to ignore me! LOL.
