Due any day. Thought I'd decided but now having a wobble.
Will or Eben?
There is a cousin Ben.
Middle name will probably be Archie.
Thanks

I don’t know any Wills which get “Willy”. Every thread about William gets pipilangstrumpf saying that several times on the same thread. It’s just not an issue.

Definitely prefer William nn Will. Lovely & timeless

William is much nicer imo

I hadn’t heard Eben before and read it to rhym with ‘Eden’ until your explanation of the pronunciation.

How about Evan?

Even split! Not worried about bullying.

Eben is short for Ebeneezer so most
People will probably assume that’s his full name.
