Wilson is Dr House's friend's name.

I quite like it, it's a very grownup name (and so many people choose names for babies, not names for the adults their babies will turn into).

DH deceased father was called william but we both have a strong connection to a man William Wilson and i would like to honor him in some way too....so i figured we both like Will in the Shortform so could have Wilson as a long form.....does that make any sense?

It is my fil's name. I hate it.

am not sure, it reminds me of the cartoon Dennis I think where the next door neighbour was called Wilson

now, I'm not completely adverse to surnames being used as first names however I don't think this would be top of my list to use

sorry, I realise that its a crap answer

don't like it

although I am not a fan of surnames as first names generally. If you like it though, go for it.

I think of it as a surname, although I don't dislike it.
