Middle names needed

[luliriisi.livejournal.com]

My bf and I were thinking about names (yay, I've finally gotten him interested!) and from the long list of possibilities, we wound up with Willow and William.
William is his middle name, which was his grandfather's name. Willow is just pretty. We're also thinking of doing the same as my parents did: giving everyone the same initials.
But, we have no idea what to use as middle names. Suggestions?

Edit:A good point has been made about both having the first four letters the same. What if the two names were middle names instead? Or just one is a mn and the other a fn?

I think the same initial thing can be ok, but are you sure you'd want 2 of your children (or all if 2 is all you have) to have the same 4 first letters of their name? That would bother me a lot as a sibling I think.

Yeah, I was thinking that too. Both names are wonderful, but definetly too much together.

Thanks for the input. :)
What do you think if they were middle names instead? Would it be so bad then?

Same initials are fine, but if you use William and Willow and then end up with another child, what are you going to name them? Do you really want to end up with a Wanda or a Willamena?

I really do like the names, but just something to think about. If you want to do that, maybe go with a letter where there are more name possibilities, like J and use William and Willow as mns.

They'd be fine as middle names, or just the one as a first name and the other as a mn.
Either way I really like both names :)

If you are going to choose to only use one as a first name I like Willow FAR better. I think it is beautiful.
