    I had a friend with a rhyming name and she absolutely hated it and couldn't believe her parents did it to her, so I would never do a rhyming name for my child. But tht's just m opinion.

    Like spencer from your list. Could you do spencer William john?

    You definately need a longish name & I wouldn't go with anything that rhymes! So be careful. What about Mitchell? Shortened to Mitch...

    I think no sorry. His friends will put his full name together and call him Will Mill (windmill?) pretty easily.

    I think a 3 syllable name is great though- how about Timothy? Or Benjamin?

    From your list I like Spencer
