William!

Kazzawazza69 · 13/03/2017 13:24

Congratulations!

I actually like all of your names. I have a Dylan so that would obviously be my favourite but I also love Elliot (this has been vetoed by my hubby for baby number 2 if it's a boy).

Would Louis be pronounced Louie? If so, I would spell it Louie as otherwise he may get called Lewis.

AdaColeman · 13/03/2017 13:26

My favourites are Lewis, Louis and Reuben.

Noah has been very popular for a while and there are a lot of them, so I wouldn't use that.

I'm not keen on Dylan or Elliot.

William is a bit ordinary, and I'm not keen on Billy.

NappingRabbit · 13/03/2017 13:42

William or Noah.

Sophronia · 13/03/2017 13:51

William (Billy)

ChickenPies · 13/03/2017 13:53

@Kazzawazza69, I do like Louie, but wouldn't it be misspelled?

Thank you Smile seems like William (Billy) is the best.

Personally I'd pick Dylan or Aidan.

OldGuard · 13/03/2017 13:54

William or Elliot

Smellofpaint · 13/03/2017 13:56

I like them all!

At a push I would say I like Reuben the best and Aidan the least but not much in it.

I have a William who since secondary school has been called Will or Bill by his friends but was always William up until then.

Don't like Elliot and Reuben , prefer Louis to Lewis and like William but not Billy . I would spell Louis as you did not Louie . Dylan and Noah are lovely but very popular .

AndNoneForGretchenWieners · 13/03/2017 14:40

William, Lewis or Louis.

ineedamoreadultieradult · 13/03/2017 14:41

William (nickname Will not Billy) or Reuben

Alyx80 · 13/03/2017 14:42

Elliot, Noah or Reuben. William is a bit dull sorry.

KanyeWesticle · 13/03/2017 14:56

William (All/any of the nn are great) or Reuben (Ben's cute, Roo is adorable!)

LittleL232 · 13/03/2017 14:59

I don't think you can go wrong with any of them. I love Reuben best, purely because i think Roo is so cute as a nickname.

Patriciathestripper1 · 13/03/2017 14:59

Noah
Elliott
Or both Noah Elliott surname

ChickenPies · 13/03/2017 15:05

We would definitely go for the NN Billy, as William would be our least favourite, but Billy is very much equal to the others, if that makes sense? Still like William though!
