I can't believe some of the negativity here! Both names are lovely - long or short versions, obviously not everyone's got different tastes and that's fine but you can't judge someone on their name!! There was an Alfie that won gold at Wimbledon this weekend and there's also a famous opera singer called Alfie and I'm sure many many more successful Alfies to come.

Such an awful thing to say, and says more about the person doing the judging than the child IMO!

Of course the op should choose the name she loves. But the purpose of her op is to ask others' opinions!

Personally I happen to dislike both names. But please feel free to ignore my opinion Smile.

Don't forget that Billy could always choose to just be Bill when he's older, which is a perfectly adult name

I love Alf
