Yep, because it was discovered by an Swiss astronomer Paul Wild.

For pronouncation I find this online dictionary very helpful (infact the
best for German --> English).
If you click the speaker symbol at the word in your search, you'll hear
it.....

Buckleboo!

I see that they put the proper pronounciation of "Wild" in the article.
I've
heard some TV reporters pronounce it like the word looks in English, not as
it
looks to those wacky Germans.

It reminds me of something that I heard Tom Brokaw say a few years back.
I'm
sure you've all heard some pronounce the name of Jupiter's moon as "eye-oh"
and
some pronounce it as "ee-oh". Well, on that newscast, Tom Brokaw pronounced
it
as "ten". :-)
