What do you think of Wilson nn - Will? Do you have any similar suggestions?

Other we like are Oscar, Elliot, Barnaby, Ralph, Jacobi, Fabian and Joseph. Nothing leaping out as a front runner!

My grandads twin was Wilson but everyone called him Billy as I don't think he liked it.
For years I assumed it was short for William.

Not for me, too much of a surname.

It’s a surname, not a first name. Maybe an acceptable given name for a dog but not for a human imo! William or even Winston would be better.

My grandad was Wilson

Our neighbours have a Wilson, I have to admit I was a bit "wtf" when I heard it but it's grown on me. I prefer Dawson though, or William if you're keen on Will as a nn.

I don’t like surnames as first names as a general rule.
Friday night dinner definitely sprung to my mind too @Carouselfish

William is much better.

Castaway and Friday Night Dinner spring to mind. Sorry op.
