Reuben or William. But I don't like Billy prefer Will.

UnicornMadeOfPinkGlitter · 13/03/2017 14:03

William but not Billy
Dylan

I have a William who since secondary school has been called Will or Bill by his friends but was always William up until then.

I like them all!

At a push I would say I like Reuben the best and Aidan the least but not much in it.

OldGuard · 13/03/2017 13:54

William or Elliot

GreatFuckability · 13/03/2017 13:53

Personally I'd pick Dylan or Aidan.

@Kazzawazza69, I do like Louie, but wouldn't it be misspelled?

Thank you Smile seems like William (Billy) is the best.

William or Noah.

AdaColeman · 13/03/2017 13:26

My favourites are Lewis, Louis and Reuben.

Noah has been very popular for a while and there are a lot of them, so I wouldn't use that.

I'm not keen on Dylan or Elliot.

William is a bit ordinary, and I'm not keen on Billy.

Kazzawazza69 · 13/03/2017 13:24

Congratulations!

I actually like all of your names. I have a Dylan so that would obviously be my favourite but I also love Elliot (this has been vetoed by my hubby for baby number 2 if it's a boy).

Would Louis be pronounced Louie? If so, I would spell it Louie as otherwise he may get called Lewis.

William!
