Friends of mine had their baby this week, a boy they named William Robert B________

WDYT?

Unlike lots of people I know, I really dislike the name William. I don't mind Wil or Liam, but William as a whole is not something I like very much. However, this name fits the parent's styles perfectly (and he shares his father's mn) and I'm happy it's not another Aidan variation!

Toby Benjamin and Aidan Jackson (twins) --too many common names
Thomas Jacob
Bridie Margaret (Tom, Lily)
Jed Riley (Emma)
Maggie Jantina (Olivia, Billy, Harry, Abby)-- Great sibset
Nate Darcy --Love, love it!! So sweet!
Benjamin (Luke, Ebony, Ryan) -- Luke, Ryan and Ben as a sibset is nice. Not a fan of Ebony
Mieka (f)

Sooo, he's Billy Bob B______? :o(

[seksimaggie.livejournal.com]

That's what I was gonna say.

[nandy-pandy.livejournal.com]

I was thinking the same thing. :( :(

[lovablemess.livejournal.com]

That was my immediate reaction.

I would like Nathan Darcy, but Nate is ugh. I hate nicknames as formal names!

I like:
Toby Benjamin (although I'd prefer Tobias)
Thomas Jacob
Benjamin, Luke, Ryan

[nandy-pandy.livejournal.com]

Not a fan of any of those, but "Bridie" is curious.

William and Robert are two of the most common names ever, so William Robert = ultra boring.

William Robert is okay, a little boring. I don't automatically jump to the Billy Bob thing. I love Liam, and Will isn't bad, but spelling it Wil is silly.

Jed? Oh no.
Jantina??
WTF.. Ebony? 'which of these things does not belonngg?'
Bridie Margaret.. probably of Irish decent.

I don't really like William, but I like Robert. I also like Toby, Benjamin, Bridie, Lily (Lilly), Olivia, Harry, Abby, Nate (as a nn for Nathan), Darcy (I love this on boys!), Luke and Ryan.

Mieka is okay, but I prefer the Dutch (I think) variant Mieke.

I'm not a fan of William, either, or any of its 100000 nicknames.

And you just reminded me -- I used to really like the name Darcy for a girl. I haven't heard it in a while, but I think it's growing on me again :)

[babyjess8.livejournal.com]

same! I used to love it to pieces, then forgot about it til recently when the boyf brought it up. I love it on boys as well, but i prefer it on a girl!

I dislike the name William. A lot. I also don't like any of the nicknames. The name just has such an unappealing sound.

[rubytitania.livejournal.com]

It's rather dull, but a million times better than Jaeden or something similar.

[duckduckcaboose.livejournal.com]

I love the name William, and I like Robert, but I wouldn't use them together~ a little too boring. I would do something like Rhys William and Brendan Robert, maybe... idk, just something a *bit* edgier, although my taste isn't too wild.

[ollivander.livejournal.com]

I've been in love with the name William since I saw A Knight's Tale... *wistful sigh*

Love Tobey with an E.

LOVE Nate Darcy. Very cool.
