Help[Opinions] Re: Bill
in reply to a message by Ludwig
It's a bit drab, especially for you. William is fine, but I find it generic. I remember you complaining that Katherine and James were like giving one's child no name at all. Ironic, then, that Bill would pique your interest.
Both my grandfather and two of my great-grandfathers (and several others before that) were all Williams. Most of them Bills, though one went by "W. O."
Bill is a little flat.

Well, there aren't a lot of Bills in my age group. Tons of Williams, though, and that would hold me back from it. Most of them are Will or William, but I know maybe one or two Billys. No Bills. A professor at my school goes by Billy, too. Come to think of it I don't talk to any Bills regularly.
I do know infinite Katherines and Jameses.

Agreed. I know a decent number of Williams-called-Bill in my parents' age group, but only like 1-2 in mine. Everyone else seems to be William-called-Will.
