What does everyone think of the name Willem? It's dutch and means strong-willed warrior. What middle name would you put with it? I've had a lot of people say they didn't like it and I should just use the name William...thoughts?

For starters, I'm Dutch and I don't like the name at all :p
But that might be due to it's reputation here (old-fashioned), and the only Willems I know are lazy, middle-aged men :p

Ick, lol, I don't really want my kid to be named after lazy, middle aged men. :) I've never actually heard it used here in the states and so it sounds unique to me. I think thats why I like it. :)

I understand why you'd like it :) And you shouldn't let people bully you into not using it if you'd really want to! :D

I definitely wouldn't let people bully into not using it. I just wanted to know what everyone else thought of the name. :) I still can't think of a middle name that I like with it! :)
