This - it’s nice, but it’s kind of cute and naughty - he might want a more grown up option for when he grows up.

That's a bookcase.

I'm just giving my baby William a last sleepy cuddle and dream feed. We call him Bill or Billy most of the time, he's such a cheerful little chap, it really suits him. So obviously that's a yes from me, although clearly I'd second going with William nn Billy.

Love it. But it is my dog’s name 😂.

I love the name Billy

HerbErtlinger · 27/09/2022 09:54

My favourite name. We were going to call DS William but known as Billy but DP had second thoughts as he already had a Harry. I still regret not using it

Ilovedthe70s · 27/09/2022 09:59

Love it, one of my sons is named Bill

Penguinsaregreat · 27/09/2022 10:26

I really dislike it, don’t get the love for it. Each to their own I guess.

CharlieBoo · 27/09/2022 22:46

Lilacsunflowers · 28/09/2022 11:26

Silly Billy

Lilacsunflowers · 28/09/2022 11:26

I guess people swap the W for a B when shortening William to avoid Willy Blush
