Love William, also like Will

tammytoby · 23/09/2010 13:46

I like George and Harrison/Harry.

William does indeed have the inevitable Willy abbreviation. And Will has too many meanings as well imo to be a 'name'.

You can't have Harrison and George. Unless you are HUGE Beatles fans inwhich case ignore me.

Danthe4th · 20/09/2010 19:29

My ds is in year 1 and he has one of each in his class, they are all lovely boys from lovely families and I like all the names together x

I'm not too concerned with how it can be manipulated into something to be teased with, I think kids can be pretty inventive and turn any name into something naughty!

charlieandlola - my DH's name is John Grin

William is likely to get teased with Willy (there is one in ds's class who gets called this).

I actually like Harrison best from your choices.

MaudOHara · 20/09/2010 18:51

Actually thinking about it everyone has shouted "But Harrison is a surname..." well actually so are the other names - we are Williams; and dsis has the surname George Grin

MaudOHara · 20/09/2010 18:50

Agree William is a great name - would have chosen it ourselves but for an unfortunate surname match

BalloonSlayer · 20/09/2010 18:47

snort . . . classic mumsnet . . . everyone says "nooooooooo" over the ones you already have.

Nice names though. I guess you worked out to bellow "Harrison! George!" across the park, instead of the other way round, pretty quickly.

charlieandlola · 20/09/2010 18:42

Think you are better off going for Ringo or John or Paul or Lennon or Starr.

Okay...so it's too late, we have a Harrison and a George, despite all the 'oh, are you a Beatles fan' remarks Grin

William is the name we are deciding on...

OP posts:
youknowmeasharimo · 20/09/2010 18:02

I have a Harrison (so obviously love it.. surname or not!)

BUT... Didn't call my DD India (even though it was my fave girls name) because of the Indiana' link.. so for that reason I wouldn't go for George and Harrison.

But if DD had been a boy, I would have gone for William (LIAM) - then I could have had a william and Harry Grin Blush

Gigantaur · 20/09/2010 17:58

Ds is George so that is obviously fabulous.
I very much like William.

i don't dislike Harrison but i don't think it fits with the other two.

George and Harrison brings all sorts of snurky commens too

SirBoobAlot · 20/09/2010 17:56

Not a good combination.

Well it's tough because I don't want to insult the name of a child you already have.

But Harrison does not go at all. Harrison is a surname.

But you could get Harry, George and William to re-enact a myriad combination of monarchs for your own entertainment.
