My friend is struggling with a baby name for a boy she is pregnant with.
She currently has 2 girls whose shortened names begin with a B and their full names don’t. Example Elizabeth but goes by Betsy.
The only name she can think of for a boy that would fit this pattern is William to be known as Billy.
any suggestions welcome!!!
