Will/William

[Vivaca]

What are your thoughts on William? Do you think Will can be used on its own?

Love it! I know a Will who's always Will but is William on his birth certificate.

I like it and can't see why you couldn't just use Will.

Love it

I love it too, it was my grandfathers middle name so it's in the family. So you'd all opt for William on BC and call Will? I was potentially considering just Will but I love both! It's a good problem to have I guess!

Will is a verb and noun. Imagine saying "Will Will come..." or "Will's will". In other words, I don't like it as a name at all. Nor Willy.

William is nice as a full name.

It’s lovely, but if you plan to send him to prep school....be warned that he may be one of about 5 in his year!

Great name

Have a William here, not Will.

We have had several Williams in our family, the youngest - now 11- is a Will. He suits it ( much more than william) and it is a bit weird saying "will Will be coming" etc but you get used to it. Wills is an option too

As long as your surname doesn’t start with a C. Doesn’t make for great initials.

Sorry, strong dislike, always think it sounds pompous & formal

William then he can be Will. I really don’t like people who give their children the shortened version of a name It’s weird.

Love it😍

Love William. I’d use the full name on the bc.

it is a bit weird saying "will Will be coming"

The verb Will is used so frequently that I don't like it as a name. "Will Will go?"

I really like Will. I’d still go for William on the BC, though..

I have a William-never Will

I have one so I obviously love the name. Used William on BC and now he's older he likes Will. William is very cute on little ones. Also gives nn option of Liam if they prefer. State educated 😂😂

We have a Will who is now 33.
He is William on his birth certificate but had been known as Will since he was about 11.
The only people who use his full name are his grandparents and strangely his sister 😁

It's my favourite name.
