NNs for William?

[Kittenkatzen]

DC1 due in 7 weeks....DH has fallen in love with William for a boy. I quite like it, but think its a bit grown up sounding for a baby/toddler so would like a nn option. Only I really don't like Billy - are there any others you can think of as I'm drawing a blank!

TIA

Willy

Will?

Bill
Will
Liam
Can't think of any more...

Thanks ragwort!

lotsa I like Will but it suits an older child/teen in my eyes. Maybe I'm over thinking this...! (Ps are you still lurking on the sept board?)

Wils?

Actually you could always jut always call him William. Just William .

Ours is Wills, Willsterfer, Bill, Beelzebub, Billster, Bilbo and Williambum. He's 22 months old.

I know a child who has the nn Wilkie

I quite like Will for a little baby, once you start calling him it, it will stick and it'll feel odd that you thought it wouldn't suit such a small child.

I am indeed. Keep trying to catch up. Today's my last day at work, so will hopefully be around a bit more

I have a Will.
He is called Wills,Willow, willbilbobaggins or wilfredo

Thanks ladies, I guess Will could work, and like you say it will stick once you start calling it. Am loving all the bilbo variants too, very cute

My son's best friend is William, they're both 3 and a hal, everyone has always called him William, never a need for a nickname and its never seemed to old, perfectly suited him at all stages, newborn, toddler, little boy. I sometimes call him WillyBob! No idea why but mostly he's just William and its a lovely name

I have a William and we've never used a nickname. Some of the children at school have started to call him Will.

I also don't like Billy.

My William was called Will from a newborn. He is now a teenager and it has stuck

Everyone calls 12 year old nephew Squill but that's a fairly offbeat kinda nickname

Oh and WillyWorm.

These aren't the sort of nicknames you were after are they?

My William is Will at school and Wills or William at home , or Wibble ( from Wibbly pig !)

The majority of the Williams I know are called Bill. I do know a couple of Willies though!

I know a 3 year old William known as Will. It really suits him.

Ds2 was always William as a baby and young child. He's 11 now and usually will or spud

My William is Will (and also Wilbifur, Willybobs, and most recently,Sir William of Dawdleshire).

I have a Will known as Will, Wills, Wilbur and Bob.

Plus a lot of other random NN's that have nothing to do with his actual name.

Our William is Will, Willibob, Will-I-Am (I hate that one but it comes out sometimes!), Wilfred, Wilhelm, and occasionally Señor Milkychops (blame DH for that one! ). He's 10 months.

DS has a 3yo friend at nursery called Bill. Before I met him it sounded odd for a toddler but now he's just Bill
