Will/William getting too popular?
| Wed, 07-14-2004 - 1:45pm |
My DH likes the name WIlliam (nn Will), but we really don't want anything that is too popular right now. I have heard of a lot of Will's lately....just wondering if you have too. Seems like it is a common name to use right now.

In my area, I would call it "familiar" but not popular, even though it's #11 on the SSA site.
Hope
I know a couple little boys with this name, certainly not to the saturation level. but I'm judging from your screen name that your last name is Whalen. if that's the case, I don't think those two W names sound very good together - William Whalen.
not only do they start with the same letter, they have a lot of the same letters and sounds in them.
good luck
I like it and it doesn't strike me as overly popular right now.

Personally, I prefer more traditional names, and William is a good solid name. If you love it, you should use it!
Also, I have heard of a few people going with William and using the nn Liam (given the "Irish trend" in boys names lately). So I think Will is a less "trendy" nn.
I love the name Will and am glad I used it no matter how popular. It is a classic.
Best of luck.

I'm not too keen on William Whalen, if that's the LN. JMO!
