We're really keen on calling our first DS Willoughby, but are having second thoughts as we've had quite a lot of negative reactions! What do you think of the name? If you don't like it, can you suggest any other three syllable alternatives?

It's a bit OTT. I'd assume you were a fan of Regency romances.

I'm not fussy on it, but it's your choice, don't let other people sway you if it's a name that you love. It's your baby. :)

It's nice but he'll get called Willoughbooby a lot

Sounds more like a girls name to me. Not keen.

Why does it need to be 3 syllables?
