Jack, Will, or Nate?

Not pregnant, but hoping to be soon and like my ducks in a row. :o

We already have a Sam. Also, Jack is not as popular in America (at least in our part) as it is there. And Will and Nate would be William and Nathan/Nathaniel officially.

Cast your vote! Smile Oh, and also Charles, nn Charlie, as a dark horse candidate.

Right. :) It really isn't called a willy here though. Peter is another favorite, but that is a minor euphemism for penis in the US, so that's possibly out.

I think Nate / Nathan / Nathaniel is awful .
Sorry .
I like Jack and Will / William though .

My eldest DS is Will, we are in the UK but he has never been jokingly referred to as Willy or teased in any way, he is a Will not William, but we know four other Williams of close friends, they are often shortened to Will but none ever called Willy or teased that I know of...it might be an assumption this might happen, but not at all in reality ime, so I would dismiss that as a worry anyway.

I also like Nathanial/Nate.

Nate would be on my shortlist for sure. Love that name.
