I don't know what I'd think of it if I'd come to it from a standing start. As it is, it's been a family name since eighteen-very-early and the last one, known as Billy and a veteran of Dunkirk and Monty's desert war, died about 20 years ago.

So I've always liked it, or assumed that I like it, and I'd willingly use it, given enough sons. Bill has strong associations for me and I abominate Liam, so my nn of choice would be Will, though certainly not Willie.
