We named our son Wyatt. He was born in 2003 and we wanted a name that was different. Wyatt was really named after Wyatt Earp and his brother Morgan, because his father and I love the movies out about Wyatt Earp.
I like it for a boy. It's a very masculine sounding name. But for a girl? Uh-uh!
Great choice for a name! We have a Wyatt too...born in 1992; male model now.
