 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.

because you're not allowed to name him william, how about bradford william? (or is that where the "stuffy" comment comes in?) if you can't call your son william, then why make william his first name?
can you use the nickname will or liam, or is that painful too? (that comment could be read kinda mean--that's not my intent!) maybe just name him liam? i think brady as a nickname for bradford is cute. :)
