Is Vilds a Danish name?  I found two examples in Kongsted, possibly sisters given their age and proximity:

Dorthe Vilds:  https://www.danishfamilysearch.com/cid1248698
Birthe Cathrine Vilds:  https://www.danishfamilysearch.com/cid1248761

3 marriages in Kongsted
https://www.sa.dk/ao-soegesider/da/billedviser?bsid=152936#152936,25467679 and next 2 opslag
  1723 Hans Larßøn Vild to Anne Hansdaatter
  1726 Niels Jensen Wild to Mette Hansdaatter
  1729 Niels Jensen Vild to Birthe Christensdaatter
show Vild as a surname to very Danish names. - How they got it, is another question.

Thanks for that additional info Ole.  So perhaps it is not a foreign name, but rather a slægtsnavn or tilnavan?

Your find of "1729 Niels Jensen Vild to Birthe Christensdaatter" suggests they may be the parents of Birthe Cathrine Vilds, b. 1731 (https://www.danishfamilysearch.com/cid1248761).
