Hiya,

Willoughby has a new baby brother. Any ideas on names? We are completely stuck. He often is called Will.

Thanks :)

Wickham?!

Another vote for Bartholomew. Will and Bart!

Wickham?!

Wrong book

Though weren't they both John? John Wickham, John Willoughby.

S and S would be Brandon (colonel) or Edward Ferras

What a lovely name.

I think Francis and Fran for short would go really well.

Wade

Willoughby and Brandon are rivals and opposites. If you like the excitement and dash of a Willoughby; Wickham is more your thing than the reliable and sturdy Brandon.

I wasn't seriously suggesting OP actually use an Austen surname, nightswimming I won't say 'another' as we don't know the OP's motive and inspiration for using Willoughby. It would be a bit of a naff theme.

Read more Austen, something will pop out at you.
