Wells as a nickname - what should the full name be?

Boy Names
1

I like the name [name_m]Wells[/name_m] but I prefer it as a nickname instead of a given name. [name_u]Baby[/name_u] boy’s middle name will most likely be [name_m]Thomas[/name_m]. Any suggestions for a first name with middle name [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] that could lead to the nickname [name_m]Wells[/name_m]? [name_f]My[/name_f] husband suggested [name_m]William[/name_m], but I was trying to think a little more out of the box while still traditional.

Wells is a GP name of mine. The prepster hidden within me is dying to use it but I honestly don’t think I’m wealthy enough. I definitely see the full name being [name_u]Maxwell[/name_u] ([name_u]Maxwell[/name_u] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] is very handsome IMO) and him being the stroke on his crew team. Honestly the more I think about this name the more I fall in love.

Could also be short for [name_m]Samwell[/name_m] if you’re a superfan of A Song of Ice and [name_u]Fire[/name_u], but it might have been a flame that burned too bright.

Bramwell is my fave, but [name_m]William[/name_m] would be a great traditional option if that’s more your style. Or you could go for one of [name_m]William[/name_m]’s less popular variants: [name_m]Willem[/name_m], [name_m]Willis[/name_m], [name_m]Wilson[/name_m]…
