Lewis. Billy isn't a proper name in my opinion but I love William.

SuperstarDJ · 07/11/2018 15:22

Lewis.

Billy is a nn for William to me.

plaidlife · 07/11/2018 15:22

Lewis, Billy is a nickname.

Goostacean · 07/11/2018 15:46

Lewis, agree that Billy is a nickname. But it’s perfectly nice and acceptable if you go with William on BC. He can be Bill when he’s older.

Shadow1234 · 07/11/2018 15:46

Definitely Lewis!

Santaispolishinghissleigh · 07/11/2018 15:49

Louis if you like an ee at the end!!

weegiemum · 07/11/2018 17:53

Lewis, by far!

sonlypuppyfat · 07/11/2018 17:55

William is lovely

FireT · 07/11/2018 18:03

Well yes, William would be on the BC but he would be a Billy Grin ty! Seems Lewis is the clear winner

William/Billy. I’ve never met a Lewis that I actually like...

NutElla5x · 07/11/2018 18:08

Billy.

DwangelaForever · 07/11/2018 18:09

I have a 7 week old called Lewis so I'm biased!

Shutityoutart · 07/11/2018 18:10

Billy. I know lots of boys named Lewis!

LordPickle · 07/11/2018 18:13

Billy is fine for a 4 year old, not an adult. Lewis is the only decent option here.

plaidlife · 07/11/2018 18:18

Okay change of vote, if you put William on the BC then it is a perfectly sensible option.

hulabaloo · 07/11/2018 18:28

Lewis!

Billy sounds like it's short for Billiam Grin

I had better talk my fella into getting a name change at once then!

Enidblyton1 · 07/11/2018 19:13

Much prefer Billy (definitely with William on bc)
It’s a cooler name

Stringofpearls · 07/11/2018 19:15

Outnumbered by far but I much prefer Billy, I find Lewis a bit of a wet name. I appreciate that's just my own opinion though.

hulabaloo · 07/11/2018 19:15

I find Billy very cutesy and a little silly as in 'Silly Billy'.

Lewis is much more manly and solid.

Sophronia · 07/11/2018 21:43

Definitely William nn Billy

hulabaloo · 07/11/2018 22:11

I wonder why William is shortened to Billy rather than Willy?!
