Will officially be William or Joseph. He'd be introduced as Billy or Joe though.

Definitely Joe

Joe

Shouldn't it be Willy rather than Billy as the name is William rather than Billiam Grin

Joe, love Joe.

Also love Will but really dislike Billy.

Billy-Joe simples

Joe. Not a fan of Billy for William, I'm from NI and all I can think of is King Billy 😂

Definitely Joe. Will is lovely too. I can't get away from 'silly-Billy'

Joe is much nicer than Billy or Willy

PinkAvocado · 06/07/2018 09:15

Joe. If you like the y ending of Billy, you can use Joey.

I love the name Will but dislike Billy and William!

These were my two top choices for a boy. I would have loved Joe but my OH's best friend just had a Joseph and so I campaigned heavily for William (to be known as Billy). We ended up with an Isaac Grin we which wasn't my choice but you can't win them all.

I would go with Joe but do also love Billy

OMG William with the nickname Bill or Billy is just the cutest thing ever. Also it gives a bit of variety to the name, as William is uber popular, but if he were to go with Bill/Billy it'd give him some individuality.
Joe is a nice name too, as is Joseph, but I find it a little bit boring and bland. That's probably just my own preference though, I think it is a good name.
