Son is going to be William as grandad was Bill and husband is Liam. Will probably be known as Billy most but would like a middle name. Can't have things that don't work with billy as in William Elliot (billy Elliot) lol. Any ideas. Surname begins with R. X

I had this issue and in the end we didn't choose a middle name at all. No point really unless it's for a relative...or you love the name.

I would keep away from Thomas as a middle name for William as Thomas is also part of John Thomas, put this with William shortened by many to Willy, you have penis associated names.
My dear friend pointed this out to us, unfortunately too late.
not these specific names but similar. Grin

William is a beautiful name though and fine on its own without a middle name.
