I like it but not sure if its right for a baby. What nicknames could we use, apart from the obvious will, bill(y), liam?

Think that's about it as far as nicknames go

I know a William called "Lamb" Smile

Think you've covered the nicknames, but personally I think it's a lovely name for a baby and suits all age groups.

DearPrudence · 20/04/2013 18:55

Lamb is adorable.

Littlemissexpecting · 20/04/2013 18:57

Thanks level. DH really likes it and I'm really struggling to pick a couple of names I really like.
Lamb is cute but not sure if I could use it.

Great name. Isn't the Royal Wills?

Fab name up there in my top 3

This was my top name for dd if she had been a boy. Still thinking I would use it if we have a ds next. Love it. Think you've covered the nicknames though.

We have a William. We call him Bill.

Others call him Bilbo, Billiam, William. I also know a Liam who's a William.

Fab name.

Think the royal Wills was called Wombat.
