Origins of the surname Wild

I do occasionally get asked about my name, which I don’t share with either of my parents (Who are Kingston and Lecorney).

The best thing to do if you are interested is read this article from The Guardian.

That said, I never lived in a commune and was born into relatively normal family life by the time my parents had settled in Sheffield (they met in a commune called Radtec - Radical Technology, but had brought their own run-down house in Heeley by the time I was born).

I am very proud of being a Wild for many reasons, and certainly very grateful to my parents for the discussion point.
