Thanks to @dappericarus for reviving my Wildberry fever, have some headcanons and thoughts
(Also idk how long this is gonna be but knowing me it's gonna be a yap so strap in)
To start off, one of my core headcanons about Wildberry is that he gained his name from him fighting while living on the streets.
He'd been living on the streets since he was very young, and probably wouldn't remember much of before, so whatever name his would-be parents may have given him was most likely forgotten. (This especially makes sense in my mind because I'd say babies are more often addressed using pet names or endearing terms when being directly spoken to so there wouldn't be a lot of instances of being called his name to remember in the first place).
And so, I'd think that when young Wildberry would fight, he'd go all in: scratching, biting, bashing, generally just full survival mode, seeming as, he was just trying to survive. This lead to him being called "feral" and "wild" by other kids there until someone remarks something along the lines of "Yeah! You might as well call him Wildberry, that's how wild he is!", (kinda corny if you ask me but oh well), which prompts others into calling him that, and since he doesn't have a proper name he just accepts this one - smth about identity issues due to not having a name and so getting this one was like "Oh, 'guess this is who I am now" (this affects him greatly later on).
I'm gonna pause this here just so I have smth posted but I'll try to find time to yap more 👍
