Baby name issue?

[Ballina1]

Hi. My husband and I are struggling to agree on a baby name we both like. We narrowed it down to one,William. However I have 2 slight issues but not sure if I'm over thinking it.

1. Love the nickname will but hate willy. Do Williams tend to get called Willy?

1. Also as my surname is Dixon, am I reading too much into kids teasing and creating Willy Dixon with the surname also sounding a bit rude (if you get what I mean as not sure I can say it here haha).

Or am I thinking the worse of kids these days?

No!

Both names fine separately but please don't put them together, that is absolutely asking for trouble. It doesn't flow well anyway.

Chris Peacock.... Took me a minute 😂😂😂

Use Liam otherwise back to
The drawing board.

Liam is a great suggestion.

I’d be surprised if he didn’t end up known as Willy Dick.

Liam is a great idea. Too many phallic connotations otherwise.

Liam is AWFUL, the only ones I have ever known have been assholes. And it is not the same as William. It’s a totally different class. Yuk!

My dad is Willie. No one would ever take the piss out of him. He’s too lovely.

William is a hugely popular name, it’s unlikely to ever be the subject of just-name mockery. If a kid is going to be subject to teasing, he will be subject to teasing.

If a kid is going to be subject to teasing, he will be subject to teasing.

True. But some names lend themselves more to teasing than others. And Willi(am) Dickson is one of those imo.

My dads names is Willy. No one would ever take the piss out of him.

Yes but was his last name Dixon.

Sorry op It's too penisy for my ears too. However I do have to admit.
I wouldn't have noticed if you'd not pointed it out. Therefore it might be a case of no one will take a blind bit of notice unless its pointed out.
I wouldnt chance it though. If it does bring a life time of teasing.
He probably won't thank you.

Sorry but not with your surname. He would be tortured in high school

My dads names is Willy. No one would ever take the piss out of him.

It's his name, not him, that could be teased, especially with a surname that includes Dick..!

I like the suggestion of Liam. I know 2 teens and a 30 something Liam and he's my dentist. All really lovely.
