Opinions about Wilson needed!

I am pregnant with a little boy. I am looking for a name that is more than one syllable, definitely masculine, but not common and so far Wilson is top of my list. My other children are Elliot and Lily. I like Wilson (it was my husband's gma's maiden name) but everyone in my family said that their initial thought was of the basketball Wilson from that Tom Hanks movie! So, do you have that first impression of Wilson??

BTW, I would like to use "Goody" as a middle name (it is a family name) and our last name is one syllable beginning with a B.

Thanks for your thoughts!

I didn't think about the Tom Hanks movie until you mentioned it. My first thought was that weird neighbor on the show Home Improvement. Its not something I would use but if you like it I think it could work. Like another poster mentioned I like Wilson Goode sounds better than Wilson Goody.

I like the name Wilson! I do remember the volleyball in that Tom Hanks movie, but that was a long time ago. Almost every name has been used in one way or another. I actually know of a woman named Wilson who is one of our local radio station DJs. I would prefer it on a boy though. Wilson Goody is a great name and I love the family meaning that goes with it. Good luck!

Love it!! I don't really think of the ball, I think of Mary's boyfriend in 7th heaven. But it still like it.
One of my favorites is Gunner. Wilson Gunner is cute. Other cute "W" names are Wallace and Walter. My boy's MN is walter.
GOod luck!
