Just dont.

QueenMortificado · 15/12/2016 18:15

Holly?

Loyly · 15/12/2016 18:16

I don't like it.

LotsoNumbers · 15/12/2016 18:16

Holly? Is that you?

stiffstink · 15/12/2016 18:16

Willabooby.

PoldarksBreeches · 15/12/2016 18:16

For a first name? No.

milky85 · 15/12/2016 18:17

Oh Sad we like Will, but not William...

I really like it.

Needmorewine · 15/12/2016 18:17

Sense & Sensibility springs to mind. He'll be a handsome cad...

SpotTheDuck · 15/12/2016 18:17

I like it.

SelfCleaningVagina · 15/12/2016 18:17

And it can always be shortened to Will, which is about as inoffensive as it comes.

ineedamoreadultieradult · 15/12/2016 18:18

No. If you like Will just use Will.

SallyGinnamon · 15/12/2016 18:18

It's different. But we did know a grey Great Dane called Willoughby.

Glitterous · 15/12/2016 18:18

Assuming it's for a boy at least it can be shortened to Will so it's not the worst name. However, holly Willoughby irritates the tits off me and I would always think of her when hearing the name

NoCapes · 15/12/2016 18:19

For a first name???
No
Just no

MovingOnUpMovingOnOut · 15/12/2016 18:20

First thought: Holly.

Second thought: Willem is nice :)

2014newme · 15/12/2016 18:22

Holly

Or " wolves of.. "
Terrible name

milky85 · 15/12/2016 18:23

Not keen on Willem Sad there was 14 Willoughbys born last year

OP posts:
MovingOnUpMovingOnOut · 15/12/2016 18:27

Wilbert
Wilbur
Wilfred
Wilheim/Wilhelm (bit Kaiser-ish)

Or just Will if you like Will.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 15/12/2016 18:33

Why not just use Will, then

CupofTeaTime · 15/12/2016 18:34

Horrendous

BratFarrarsPony · 15/12/2016 18:34

please don't. He will become 'Willy bee' at junior school without a doubt.

TaggieRR · 15/12/2016 18:36

I like it, reminds me of sense and sensibility!

PosynPip · 15/12/2016 18:36

I knew a Willoughby. He was super cool, had long curly hair and absolutely owned the name.

PoldarksBreeches · 15/12/2016 18:39

What's wrong with William? It's a fairly inoffensive name, and you will be using Will anyway.
