 My husband and I really like the name William but can't call the kid William per his parents' (valid) request. (They had a friend who died...too painful to hear it all the time). Bradford is a family name, but my husband thinks it's stuffy. 

So what do you guys think about William Bradford Daniels with the nn Brady from Bradford? Too far of a stretch? I feel like it is cute and still allows us to use the names we like. WDYT?

ETA: Is Brady still really trendy? I don't know, but I don't hang out with a lot of kids or people with kids.

I think if you're going to name him William, his nn should pertain to it, instead of being a whole different name (though Bradford is cute). How about the nickname Liam? It's close to William without being too close
