W name with a W surname!

[bleachblondemom]

My surname begins with a W and there is a boys name I really love that starts with a W. I’ve tried saying it out loud so many times but the two Ws together just sound terrible, especially as W isn’t a very strong sound so it sound a bit... can’t really think of the right word, but do you know what I mean? A bit like a speech impediment 😂
Anyone think the double W might actually be ok? I just love the name so much I’m sad I can’t use it.

I like Wyatt Williams. My surname will soon be Williams too 😂

@Littlepond my task for the evening- convince my husband!

Can't believe no one has said Wincey Willis...

Wyatt Williams is a good name.

@CorianderLord it’s a good strong family name 👍

I’ve just been nerdy and looked it up. 530th most popular UK surname (for context, Small is 529 and Fry is 531).

@NataliaOsipova interesting, I’d have never thought it was as common as Small and Fry (not that I know many of those but you hear of them lol)

I love alliterative names. All the superheroes (and villains) have them!

DS2 has a triple alliterative name.

I think Wyatt Williams is a grand name!

I was going to say it would probably be fine until you said the name was Wyatt, totally awful.

I actually think that's lovely, wyatt Williams.

Think about how often he'll actually be called by his full name..

A lot, then? Particularly as an adult.

@bleachblondemom, no but every time you introduce yourself or answer the phone, or someone refers to you, unless they are very close, they will use the full name.

If I think of friends and colleagues, they are usually called by both other than within the immediate group, and those with common names are usually referred to as Sarah Surname or John Surname.

For example, if I was asked who my manager was, I'd say Mark Stevens or Sue Roberts or something not Mark or Sue.

@KeeefBurtain thank you :) does sound a bit like a super hero lol but that kinda makes me like it more??

Wyatt Williams sounds strong to me. Like it.

Wyatt Williams sounds like he’d be the cool but sensitive college grad in a US soap.

This is not a bad thing. I like it.

I like it.
However we thought about Woody W for DS1 and decided against it. He says he is very grateful...

I knew a boy whose initials were M.M.M. And on top of that his first and last name was like "David Davids" he was a good kid!!! OF COURSE his nickname was MandMs!!

Thanks everyone it’s nice to hear lots of positive comments :) I do love it, I’m putting it back on the table! Can guarantee my mom will hate it but oh well sorry grandma 😂

@1starwars2 Woody is a cool name but when you say Woody and then start to say W again it sounds like it’s gonna be woody woodpecker 😆

Great name. Use it op

I knew a female Wyatt she was great. Not heard in the male context before but like it.

I think Wyatt Williams is a great name. If you do want to go whole hog WWW then I like Wyatt Wilfred Williams

It sounds like a name out of an old movie like Gone with the Wind!

@GinWithASplashOfTonic yesss Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher have a daughter called Wyatt Isobel which I love!

@MikeUniformMike I agree, and in the workplace I said my name as Firstname Surname way more than I did just Firstname.

I’d answer the phone as Firstname Surname 30 times a day for instance. I’d introduce myself as Firstname Surname in meetings or when meeting someone new.

I’d refer to others as their Firstname Surname “my colleague Michael Jackson in the Legal department” etc.

I think in most professions we know people as Firsname Surname. The only exception is probably only teachers as I know my DC’s teachers only as Miss/Mrs/ Mr X although I’m sure when they first meet new members of staff or refer to each other it’s as Firstname Surname too.

It’s only now I’m a SAHM that I don’t seem to have a surname anymore.

@zigaziga, yes, that's exactly it. My DC have names that are popular in their age group and they always were Firstname Surname. Not at home, obviously, but even in their group of friends.

Other than Boris, Madonna, Beyonce, Cher, Rihanna.. most people are.

Forgot Kylie.
