Does this baby name sound awful?!

[MrsW20]

We are due baby number 3 in June and really domt know what name to pick! We don't know the sex but are thinking maybe William for a boy. Only issue is our surname is Whelan, does William Whelan sound silly?? Our other sons names are Edward and Harry so we want something f traditional to go with them! Any advice would be much appreciated!

No I love alliterative names!

How about
Alexander
Daniel
Isaac
Joseph
James
Matthew
Oliver
Peter

Billy Whelan sounds lovely!

And the WW initials will be fun (hey, I studied typography so a bit of a saddo like that)

LouNatics, isn't the surname pronounced, way-lan, rather than wee-lan ?

No

You may have heard it pronounced with a regional dialect. It is pronounced ‘Whee Lan’.

W name a bit odd with surname, and you possibly don’t want William and Harry - pick another classic?

James, Robert, Richard, George, Charles, Philip, Francis, Nicholas, Jonathan, Benedict, Alexander, Dominic, Miles, Giles, Rufus...

As long as your ok with peoples reaction to those 3 names ? What were your girl choices
Elizabeth Catherine Meghan ?

I guffawed out loud at this. So I’d vote for no.....

Willy Whelan....come on

Double no for me I’m afraid OP. Two W’s are too much but you have a Harry and now want a William?! That’s even more of a shock than the tongue twister.

How about Daniel or Alexander? Gorgeous, traditional names. Congratulations and good luck!

Too Royal.
And Will (or Willy) Whelan is too much.
So no.
