I voted for [name_m]Liam[/name_m] as it has a modern feel to it.
[name_m]Will[/name_m] is overused
[name_m]Willy[/name_m] is a slang for the male part so no
[name_m]Bill[/name_m] is difficult to see on a child
[name_u]Billy[/name_u] is difficult to see on a adult
[name_u]Lee[/name_u] is basically the shortening of [name_m]Liam[/name_m]
So I think it’s best he has the nickname [name_m]Liam[/name_m]

I just wanted to suggest [name_m]Wim[/name_m]

[name_m]William[/name_m] isn’t my fave but it’s sturdy, versatile and a good choice. [name_u]Billy[/name_u] is my favourite of your nickname options, though [name_m]Will[/name_m] is nice too. They have different feels though. [name_m]Wilkie[/name_m] could be another

[name_m]William[/name_m] is such a strong and handsome name I personally like [name_m]Bill[/name_m]/y the best, although [name_m]Wilkes[/name_m] and [name_m]Wiley[/name_m] are really cool too

6

In order I like [name_m]Liam[/name_m], [name_u]Billy[/name_u], no nickname, and [name_m]Will[/name_m]. Not a fan of [name_m]Willy[/name_m], it makes me that male body part. I’ve never really liked the name [name_m]Bill[/name_m] for some reason. [name_u]Lee[/name_u] seems like a bit of a stretch for [name_m]William[/name_m], although I like it fine.

[name_m]Will[/name_m], [name_u]Billy[/name_u] or [name_m]Liam[/name_m]

My mother’s maiden name was [name_m]Williams[/name_m] & we named our baby [name_m]Williams[/name_m] but call him [name_m]Wills[/name_m]. I think it could work for just [name_m]William[/name_m] as well. Suits my babe perfectly!

[name_m]Bill[/name_m]! It’s so solid and clean and underused. I would love to meet a kid named [name_m]Bill[/name_m].

My favorite is [name_m]Liam[/name_m]! I think its handsome and sweet.
[name_m]Will[/name_m] is also nice, I just think it’s a bit overused.

(Also love the suggestion of [name_m]Wim[/name_m]!)

Thanks so much for all your help! My favorite is definitely either [name_m]Will[/name_m] or [name_m]Liam[/name_m]!

[name_m]William[/name_m] is wonderful as it is but naturally, people will shorten it. I am a huge fan of [name_m]Wilkie[/name_m] and think it is playful for a child and can evolve to be strong for a man.

I like how traditional [name_m]William[/name_m] is and would probably just go for [name_m]Will[/name_m] as a middle although [name_m]Liam[/name_m] is nice too. However, the name is lovely by itself so I don’t think it’s necessary to use a nickname.
