What are some name ideas for a girl, to somehow incorporate/honor William (similar sounding or meaning) as a middle name? I’m not loving the name Willa which seems like the most common female form of William… it doesn’t seem to flow with the first names we’ve narrowed down to so far (Colette, Sasha, Annika, Emilie, Ruby).
[name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f]!
[name_u]Willow[/name_u]
[name_f]Wilma[/name_f]
[name_f]Winifred[/name_f]?
I like [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] [name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f]!
I absolutely love the suggestions of [name_u]Willow[/name_u] and [name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f], you could go with something like [name_f]Colette[/name_f] [name_u]Willow[/name_u] or [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] [name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f]!
But I think [name_u]Billie[/name_u] and [name_f]Wilhelmine[/name_f] are worth thinking about as well, they’re spunky and different but still straight-forward honors for [name_u]William[/name_u].
[name_u]Sasha[/name_u] [name_u]Billie[/name_u] or [name_f]Emilie[/name_f] [name_f]Wilhelmine[/name_f] would be quirky and cool.
A few more combos for you:
[name_f]Colette[/name_f] [name_u]Willow[/name_u] 
[name_f]Colette[/name_f] [name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f]
[name_u]Sasha[/name_u] [name_u]Billie[/name_u]
[name_u]Sasha[/name_u] [name_u]Willow[/name_u]
[name_u]Sasha[/name_u] [name_f]Wilhelmine[/name_f]
[name_f]Annika[/name_f] [name_f]Wilhelmine[/name_f]
[name_f]Annika[/name_f] [name_u]Willow[/name_u]
[name_f]Emilie[/name_f] [name_u]Willow[/name_u]
[name_f]Emilie[/name_f] [name_f]Wilhelmine[/name_f]
[name_f]Emilie[/name_f] Wilhemina
[name_u]Ruby[/name_u] [name_f]Willa[/name_f]
[name_u]Ruby[/name_u] [name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f]
[name_u]Ruby[/name_u] Wilhemine
[name_f]Willodean[/name_f]? [name_f]Willabelle[/name_f], Wilona, [name_f]Wilda[/name_f], or [name_f]Willetta[/name_f] are also nice.

I could see Lillie/Lily or Leah/ [name_f]Lia[/name_f] as an option with similar sounds. Maybe [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] with a similar meaning.

Maybe [name_u]Sasha[/name_u] is already an honor!

I love [name_u]Willoughby[/name_u] for girl, and I think it’s a fairly direct connection to [name_u]William[/name_u] (both start with Will). [name_f]Colette[/name_f] [name_u]Willoughby[/name_u], [name_u]Sasha[/name_u] [name_u]Willoughby[/name_u] and [name_f]Annika[/name_f] [name_u]Willoughby[/name_u] are all very lovely.
[name_f]Lia[/name_f]
Lili/Lily
[name_m]Lemmie[/name_m]
[name_f]Lilia[/name_f]
[name_f]Alia[/name_f]
[name_f]Amy[/name_f]
[name_f]Emmy[/name_f]
[name_u]Allie[/name_u]
[name_u]Willie[/name_u]
[name_f]Millie[/name_f]
I want to second [name_u]Willow[/name_u]. Also [name_u]Billie[/name_u] is becoming more and more popular as a girl’s name, but also I think [name_u]Will[/name_u] or [name_u]Willie[/name_u] could work for a girl as well. I think there’s even a Disney [name_f]Channel[/name_f] show with a girl character who goes by [name_u]Will[/name_u] (if I recall correctly I think her full name is [name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f] but she doesn’t like it so she goes by Will). I also agree that [name_f]Lilly[/name_f] or [name_f]Lia[/name_f] could work but would be slightly less obvious.
[name_u]William[/name_u] → [name_u]Liam[/name_u] → [name_f]Mila[/name_f]?
[name_f]Colette[/name_f] [name_f]Mila[/name_f] or [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] [name_f]Mila[/name_f] would be sweet
[name_u]Or[/name_u] even Mailli (Miley) which is [name_u]William[/name_u] backwards without the W if they are feeling whimsical

I like [name_u]Wiley[/name_u] or [name_u]Wylie[/name_u], [name_f]Twilla[/name_f] or [name_f]Wilma[/name_f].
I don’t think anyone has mentioned [name_f]Willene[/name_f] yet? Also, [name_f]Diantha[/name_f] is the botanical name for the flowering plant better know as Sweet [name_u]William[/name_u].
