What are some name ideas for a girl, to somehow incorporate/honor [name_u]William[/name_u] (similar sounding or meaning) as a middle name? I’m not loving the name [name_f]Willa[/name_f] 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, [name_u]Sasha[/name_u], [name_f]Annika[/name_f], [name_f]Emilie[/name_f], 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].
