I think [name_u]Ray[/name_u] is lovely! Like a ray of sunshine & a cool retro-ish name

I love [name_m]Will[/name_m]. It’s my brothers name and its so solid and classic. I think [name_m]Walt[/name_m] is super cute too!
My vote goes to [name_m]Will[/name_m]. It is a classic but has a freshness to it, I think partly because the older [name_m]Williams[/name_m] I know usually became [name_m]Bill[/name_m].
I like [name_u]Ray[/name_u]. The ray of sunshine thing is so nice, and it also sounds sharp. It could also be short for many different things.
I love [name_m]Will[/name_m]. I like it so much more than [name_m]William[/name_m] or [name_u]Liam[/name_u]. Reminds me of the main character in the Dark is Rising series. It’s very laidback, but wouldn’t be out of place on a [name_m]King[/name_m] or adventurer, either.
Ray because a ray of sunshine.
I like the sleek, smart feel of [name_m]Will[/name_m]. [name_u]Ray[/name_u] is nice too
Walt is very cute.
I agree! [name_m]Will[/name_m] & [name_m]Walt[/name_m] are fine, but a little too nickname-y to stand alone, imo. 
They’re all so cute, but my vote goes to [name_m]Walt[/name_m] 
[name_m]Walt[/name_m] is such an underused gem
I love [name_m]Will[/name_m]
Hi there.
My favorite is [name_m]Walt[/name_m]. I do prefer it as a nn for [name_m]Walter[/name_m] (or [name_m]Walton[/name_m], maybe?) It’s sharp, & crisp, & old fashioned & friendly. Simple & not at all over done.
My second favorite is [name_u]Ray[/name_u]. Something about it almost sounds a little too cowboy for me, but it’s still a nice simple, friendly solid not popular name.
Will is my least favorite. I do think that [name_m]William[/name_m] is beautiful, but [name_m]Will[/name_m] (well, and [name_m]William[/name_m]) is sooo over done. I just never liked [name_m]Will[/name_m] either. I prefer just [name_m]William[/name_m] or [name_u]Billy[/name_u].
Hope this helps.
I like them all! But I’d order them:
[name_m]Walt[/name_m] > [name_u]Ray[/name_u] > [name_m]Will[/name_m]
Will is my favorite! It just sounds so grounded and friendly.
Thank you all! Your ordering and reasoning is so helpful.
(I would use [name_m]Will[/name_m] as short for [name_m]William[/name_m]. For [name_m]Walt[/name_m], I can’t decide if it needs to be short for [name_m]Walter[/name_m] or not; I like [name_m]Walt[/name_m] but think [name_m]Walter[/name_m] is a bit dorky).
Oh and keep the comments coming. I don’t mean to cut you off
I really love [name_m]Will[/name_m] and [name_m]William[/name_m] 
it is classic yet bold all at the same time. Such a strong name. Idk if you already have a middle picked out, but [name_m]William[/name_m] [name_u]Ray[/name_u] sounds really good together too!
Walt has a retro cool feel
Will! So sweet! I do prefer it short for [name_m]William[/name_m] though personally
