We like William but have two close relations with the name, we already have a Charles, known as Charlie.

Expecting DC 2 in April and very stuck for boys names - Wilbur is the only one we are close to agreeing on - perhaps to be shortened to Wil or Bertie.

We have a VERY common and plain surname!

What do you think?

Wilbur makes a welcome change from the many Williams around these days. I like it.

I think William and Wilbur are both equally likely to be shortened to Will or Willy. Depends on which nickname you prefer.

It might get shortened to Willy.

double espresso Yes you are a bit confused. Wilbur Smith is an author of thrillers from the 70s.

I love Wilbur and Wilfred. Really friendly sounding names, and Will (or Wilf) good abbreviations.

I don't think he'll thank you for it.

no, and not wilfred either. Seriously, think about this.

If your surname is Smith, (which it probably isn't) then wasn't the pig from Animal Farm called Wilbur Smith ? Or am I getting muddled ? Anyway, like Wilbur - may get shortened to Willie ...

OK, but prefer Wilfred.
