Opinions please because the child in me is screaming that the initials spell blow job!!

First thought was that I just dont like the name... then I thought people would presume it was William anyway... then I thought about the dodgy initials!!
So a no go for me, sorry.

I hadn't really thought about BJ meaning blowjob, but now that you've pointed it out, I can't get it out of my head.

Personally I don't like Billy (nor William due to the Willy association) and would agree that a proper name would probably work better (at least on the bc to give ds more options).

Thanks again everyone...honest opinions were indeed what I was after.

Gone right off Billy now and slightly panicking because it seems I don't actually like any names! Maybe someone will invent new names before I give birth...

What about James if you liked it as a middle name?

What sort of names do you lean towards?

Billy reminds me of Billy Kennedy from Neighbours many year ago.. no bad thing! It's sweet, but would def go William myself..

I can't believe the negative comments about Billy! My nephew is a Billy, Billy Peter and he is a lovely child! I have and have heard anyone call or think he is William. I have also never heard any negative comments about his name. I don't personally like James as a middle name though.

Meant to put I have and have never

OP, I'm glad you have gone off Billy :) Some of the comments were very to the point, but I'm afraid I was agreeing.

And, don't worry about not finding a name yet. My first got her name after about two weeks. We'd dismissed the one we had chosen because it didn't suit her (a concept I thought totally rediculous before she was born). Rest assured you will find a name :)
