opinions on this name?

I love the idea of the name Wexler for a boy. 

I know it's the last name of the family in Wuthering Heights. The Westing Games. Right. Oops. ^^

For some reason it reminds me of the moon. I think because "Wex" sounds like wax, and you can have a waxing moon. 

What do you think of it?

A bit OT, but I don't remember the name Wexler being mentioned in Wuthering Heights.

As for the name, yeah, I quite like it in full, though the shortened version no so much.

It's my friends maiden name.
I kind of like it but I'm not so sure I like any possible nicknames.

It's an important last name in an AWESOME young adult mystery novel called The Westing Game, but it's not in Wuthering Heights.

Other Wexlers of note: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wexler

Nicknames with an X always seem kind of cool to me - Dex, Brax, etc.

I know it's the last name of the family in Wuthering Heights.

Noooooo, it isn't. Those two last names would be Earnshaw and Linton. Heathcliff functions as both a first and last name.

"Wexler" isn't really my style, sorry.

I kind of like it. Wex is NMS at all, but Wexler is fun.

Sorry, I don't really like it.

i'm not feeling it.

It's not my style, but I wouldn't think anything bad about it if I met a little boy with that name. Plus, Wex is a pretty cool NN.

... Where is that in WH? It sounds like a car to me, not a name.

I think it's really ugly.
