Help[Opinions] Re: Billy
in reply to a message by Ottilie
I don't like Billy. William is fine, Willem is nice. But Billy I am not a fan of.
As far as using Billy as a nickname, both Wilhelm and Willem work great. Also, Wilbert, Wilburn, Wilford, Wilfred, Wilkie, Wilton, Willard, Willis, Willoughby (!!), Wilson, Wilmet. Woah, the options are endless.

I wouldn't say "endless" :P I did search for Wil- names, but nothing particularly piqued my interest, and a lot of them seemed like "no go"s for me, so I was hoping for something a little more unexpected than other Wil- names.

How about skipping the William association altogether:
Abel nn Billy
Bilbo nn Billy
Bill nn Billy
Abimael nn Billy
Abilio nn Billy
Abimelech nn Billy
Baldwin nn Billy
Bartel nn Billy
Basil nn Billy
Blaine
Blair
Blaise
Blake
Campbell (that would be quite sweet, actually)
Gabriel - is that too much of a stretch?
Noble
Tybalt
Anything?

Yes!
I think we must have done a similar search just now, because I was just about to reply to my OP asking about Abel, Basil, and Tybalt, and I also picked out Archibald. I might consider Campbell, but as I never have before, it's going to take me a while to contemplate it.
