Name William

[Joey197]

Is William nice? Cute diminutives?

It’s dull to me. I don’t particularly like any of it’s diminutives (Will, Willy, Bill, Billy, Liam, etc.) either. I also knew two awful adult ones, so that may be influencing my view.

Too bland for me.
I really dislike the nicknames Billy and Willy too. I wouldn’t lumber a child with that.

Lovely and I love Will

Willy, Bill, and Billy (which I think he will inevitably be called at some point) are horrendously ugly to me. I’m not sure how those ever became popular.

Silly Billy Willy are all awful nicknames.

Will isn’t great either as it’s such a common word. Will Will come?

I live in Northern Ireland so a no from me.

Another very petty reason a William broke off the belt on my Super Ted teddy back in 1995 when I was getting my tonsils out. Everytime I hear William I think about him.

I have a William. He's always been Wills to the entire family (unless I am cross). It's a good serviceable name.

I have a William.

I call him William, or Will Bill.

His friends call him Will.

I like Cornelius, Liam, Patrick, Niall and Jarlath.
Aidan too.

Classic name.

Nice but boring

I have a godson called William and love the name as a result. He is in his mid 30s now and has been a delight since he was a baby - affectionate, thoughtful, good company and consistently good natured. He has never had a nickname.

William is a really lovely name. 🩷
