If there's more, I probably don't remeber, but I don't think the name alone is significant enough, to say it's based on that. It is a bit indirect, but Wilby appears in the same episode as Gabriel, the character based on the Woodcutter from Little Red Riding Hood. Once adapts him as a werewolf hunter, and werewolves are of course people who transform back and forth between a human and wolf state. In The Shaggy Dog, Wilby is a man who transforms into a dog and back again, and dogs and wolves are biologically related.
