I know far fewers Bills than I do Williams, but it seems that most people know more Bills than Williams. So maybe my impression of these names is reversed from the general one.

The only Williams I know who actually go by William are young boys. Older Williams (40+?) go by Bill, and the rest go by Will. Bill is a quintessential "Dad name" to me, just like Jim, Mike, and Bob.
