William (for a girl)

[TurquoiseChevrotain]

As if people have named their daughters William (just been looking at the results)

Hopefully they won’t shorten it for o Willy

Who?

I don't know who, but it's on the database for female Williams registered.

No way
Link?

Maybe clerical errors? I was on the Finnish population database as the only male with my name because of a clerical error

The tiny pink bit is females. It's gone up for 0 - 5000 and something. Madness.

Noooo!

I've just remembered a song, My girl Bill'

Poor children! Don't mind Wilhelmine at a push but William?... Cruel perents.

Perhaps their logic was that a female "Billie" (as in Holiday/ Whitelaw/ Lourd etc.) could surely only originate from "William", even if that's traditionally a male name and they didn't think to Google

Well it’s really no more ridiculous than Cameron, Finley or Ryan for girls all of which I’ve heard.

—poor kid though—
