Help[Opinions] Re: nicknames for William
in reply to a message by Tieliebirds
I like the name William, and I think it's great to use family names! But, I don't think parents should plan nicknames, but instead, they should be left up to the child. You may like Billy, but maybe he won't. You don't like Bill, but maybe he will. Anyway, the nicknames you've listed are all I can think of.

but I'd have to call him something... anyway, found perfect nickname :o)
William seems way too formal for a baby. I agree, you SHOULD be able to pick your own nickname (or change it completely if you feel so inclined), but you've got to call your kid SOMETHING until they're old enough to decide for themselves. Anyway, right after posting this, I went and looked at another web site that had a ton of nicknames for William. Bo was on the list. That's quite a nice surprise as Bo is one of my favorite names (albeit for a girl), so that would be a perfect nickname. I think it would grow on me as a boy's name. Problem solved! Wow, that was quick!

I'm glad you've found something, but why not just call him William his first years of life, before he chooses a nickname (if he would even want one)? Just curious.

She already said she feels it's too formal for a baby/small child.
