William?

What are your thoughts on the name [name_m]William[/name_m]? What siblings would you suggest for [name_m]William[/name_m]? (Middle name [name_m]George[/name_m]) I am really struggling to come up with other boys names. [name_m]Edward[/name_m] is a family name and would be considered as a middle name for the second boy… thanks!

I like [name_m]William[/name_m] a lot. Classic, solid, all boy, timeless and handsome. nickname [name_m]Liam[/name_m] is a plus.
[name_m]William[/name_m] [name_m]George[/name_m] is a great combo.
[name_m]William[/name_m]'s brothers…

[name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_m]Jonathan[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_m]Nicholas[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_m]Matthew[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_m]Anthony[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_m]Timothy[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]

Thank you, I am glad you hear you like the name [name_m]William[/name_m] [name_m]George[/name_m] too. Unfortunately I don’t love any of the above first names. I am quite fussy with boy’s names. For example I really like [name_u]James[/name_u] but wouldn’t use it for a son…

[name_m]William[/name_m] is a good classic name. So:
[name_m]Alexander[/name_m]
[name_m]Andrew[/name_m]

[name_m]Brendan[/name_m]

It’s my #1 name for a boy, so I love it :wink: Totally classic and handsome, and I love [name_m]William[/name_m] [name_m]George[/name_m] as a combo! [name_f]My[/name_f] other favourites for a boy are [name_m]Thomas[/name_m], [name_m]Henry[/name_m], [name_m]Peter[/name_m], [name_m]Joseph[/name_m], [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] and [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m], if that helps.

Other siblings:
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m], [name_m]Rupert[/name_m], [name_m]Harry[/name_m], [name_m]David[/name_m], [name_m]Oscar[/name_m], [name_m]Leo[/name_m], [name_m]Frederick[/name_m], [name_m]Hugo[/name_m], [name_m]Benedict[/name_m], [name_m]Alfred[/name_m], [name_m]Patrick[/name_m], [name_m]Edmund[/name_m], [name_u]Tristan[/name_u], [name_m]Paul[/name_m], [name_m]Felix[/name_m], [name_m]Dominic[/name_m], [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]

Providing we will never run into each other and realise we have the same sibset…
I love [name_m]William[/name_m]! It’s a family name but I love it regardless.
I like [name_m]William[/name_m] [name_m]Charles[/name_m], which are both family names, and my other boy name is [name_m]Vincent[/name_m] [name_m]John[/name_m].
[name_m]Joseph[/name_m] is slowly making roots in my heart and so it will probably be added eventually.
I don’t really understand the question… do you already have a son called [name_m]William[/name_m] [name_m]George[/name_m]?

I think…
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]?
[name_m]Fredrick[/name_m]
[name_m]Henry[/name_m]
[name_m]Jack[/name_m]
[name_m]Benjamin[/name_m]
[name_m]John[/name_m]
[name_m]Matthew[/name_m]
[name_m]Thomas[/name_m]
[name_m]Phillip[/name_m]
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m]

maybe:

[name_m]Patrick[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_m]Harrison[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_u]Lawrence[/name_u] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_m]Christian[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_m]Terrance[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_m]Marshall[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]

I love [name_m]William[/name_m]! It’s in our top 2 for a boy. We are considering [name_m]William[/name_m] [name_u]August[/name_u] and calling him [name_u]Whit[/name_u].

Our other boy name is [name_m]Charles[/name_m], but I also love [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m], [name_m]Thomas[/name_m], and [name_m]Edward[/name_m]!

[name_m]William[/name_m] is great, I have a lot of positive associations with it. [name_m]William[/name_m] [name_m]George[/name_m] is nice but are you fine with the royal family?
Siblings: [name_u]James[/name_u], [name_m]Theodore[/name_m], [name_m]Fred[/name_m], [name_m]Nestor[/name_m], [name_m]Samuel[/name_m]

No I don’t have a son named [name_m]William[/name_m] [name_m]George[/name_m], it is the only boy name I like for a future son, sorry for the confusion! I really like the name [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] but it is so popular where I am from.

There are so many names I love that you have suggested! Thank you. I love [name_m]Hugo[/name_m], [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] and [name_m]Rupert[/name_m] but my husband doesn’t like them at all! [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] would be a maybe and [name_m]Harry[/name_m] is out as it is my best friend’s sons name.

Girls names I love too but most of them are my friends names.

I love [name_m]William[/name_m]. Definitely one of my all time favorites, I just couldn’t use it. (I have all girls anyway, lol). I prefer it without a nn but if one must be used I like [name_m]Will[/name_m]. [name_m]William[/name_m] [name_m]George[/name_m] is very handsome. I can’t remember all the suggested names, so I’m just going to throw a few out there with [name_m]Edward[/name_m] as a middle name.

[name_m]Lucas[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_m]Nicholas[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]

[name_m]William[/name_m] works with almost everything; apart from being a regal classic, it’s also quite popular at the moment (especially if nicknamed [name_m]Liam[/name_m]) so in addition to [name_m]Henry[/name_m], [name_m]John[/name_m], [name_m]Thomas[/name_m]…, most trendy names and unusual classics would fit too.

I love classic [name_m]William[/name_m]!

I know a [name_m]William[/name_m] with brother [name_u]Michael[/name_u] and a [name_m]William/name_m with brother [name_m]Hugo[/name_m].

Some other classics to go with [name_m]William[/name_m]:
[name_m]Edward[/name_m] (as a first name too!)
[name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] / [name_m]Benedict[/name_m]
[name_m]Thomas[/name_m]
[name_m]Matthew[/name_m]*
[name_m]Henry[/name_m]
[name_m]Joseph[/name_m]
[name_m]Christopher[/name_m]
[name_m]Jonathan[/name_m]
[name_m]Peter[/name_m]*
[name_m]Philip[/name_m]*

[name_m]Edmund[/name_m]
[name_m]Lewis[/name_m]
[name_m]Louis[/name_m]
[name_u]Howard[/name_u]
[name_u]Douglas[/name_u]

I like [name_m]William[/name_m] but would only use it as a middle name because it doesn’t really go with my other boys names and I have quite a few family members that have the first name [name_m]William[/name_m] so it would get a little confusing.

[name_m]Henry[/name_m]
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m]
[name_m]Philip[/name_m]
[name_m]Leonard[/name_m]
[name_m]Daniel[/name_m]
[name_m]Robert[/name_m]
[name_m]Matthew[/name_m]
[name_m]Reuben[/name_m]
[name_m]Zachary[/name_m]
[name_u]Michael[/name_u]
[name_m]Alexander[/name_m]
[name_m]Isaac[/name_m]

[name_m]William[/name_m] has been a popular name for a millenium for good reason - it’s masculine and timeless.
