Boys name to go with tricky and harsh surname

So the surname is Wellard

We really like William (after dp's grandad) - but i'm rather unsure, does it sound like a mouthfull?

''William Wellard''

Dad thinks not - as he says it's a strong name like William Wilberforce.

So very, very stuck and would be extremely grateful of your ideas and suggestions. Any other names we have liked / like may well be out of the question.

Our daughter is Georgia

I would go for a name with a "soft" ending, so no Richard, Edward or Jacob.

SoupDragon · 01/02/2009 17:40

Alexander works well both long and short versions.
