Do you think there will be lots of them this year? DH and I both like the name (minor miracle) but MIL thinks it will be very popular (presumably because of the wedding).

I predict Bill will become massively popular soon...

I think there will be the same number as usual. Some people will use it because they like Prince William. Others will avoid it because they think it's going to get too popular, so making it less popular!

It's lovely. But then I don't care about how popular names are. You can have lots of nicknames too which will be better when he gets older.
