It's ok as a nn for William Willem wilbert Wilbur Wilfred willard

I pretty much only like it as a short form for William. I think there are a pretty few nicknames that can stand alone and a legitimate name. Like Theo. In its own Will isn’t horrible, but I don’t care for it.

Will is my nickname, short for William. I like it and I prefer people to call me Will. I've always gone by Will because William is so formal. I hate when everyone calls me William, it sound like I'm in trouble. I'll use it for my job or school. I think Will is cool. It's best as a nickname in my opinion. If not for William, then Willis or Wilhelm. The other Will- names are just...ugh.

I'm definitely not a fan of William. I much prefer Wilhelm. Other WIL names I like are Wilberforce, Wilfred, and Willard.

Wilbur. Wilfred. Wilson. William. Wilbert. Wilberforce.
If it begins with "Wil", then Will can be used.

"Will" alone is very ambitious but doable still.

Well, not a bad nickname, though I find it bland.

Besides William, it could be a nickname for Wilbert, Wilbur, Wiley, Wilfred, Wilhelm, Wilson, etc.

Too wordy: makes me think of free will, last will and testament, and so on and so forth. It works best as a nickname for William.
