my partner wants to call our baby.............

[*Sparklez*]

i think its a nice name...

[Traveller]

It's a beautiful name, I really love it.

[ss_storm]

if your partner is set on using it, could you have it as a middle name instead?

[alicia]

I like it. It was on my list until DH crossed it off!

[CinderToriella]

I like Will, but wilson is not for me

[ezymay]

I kind of like it too,,,all the better for having a special meaning

[Joeve]

I immediately thought of the movie cast away with the ball named wilson...sorry. i love will could you maybe shorten it or use as middle name?

Me too Joeve.
Sorry Ree all i can hear is "wwwwiiiilll-ssssssoooonnnnn" but in saying that... what child is even going to see that movie? It's already old and probably won't be on the viewing list at all in10 yers time.
I do like wil though and think it's a lovely gesture of you DH.

My first thought is the neighbour of Home Improvement but I do like Wil....
Maybe a middle name?

i love william but have a nephew william and i do love will he was telling everyone we were calling him eric but i fully rejected that one but i think wilson could grow on me i liked cameron until my mil wouldnt stop refering to bub as cameron and put me off

I never told MIL or my family for that matter. I didn't want people saying "oh that's nice" or "not sure about that". It was our baby so no one else should influence our choice

[mrsmac]

It makes me think of Home Improvement too but only cause I'm old LOL
I quite like it and Will is a gorgeous name, all the Wills that I know are lovely.

[Nelle]

I don't mind it either actually. He's in trouble if his friends watch Cast Away, for about the 2 weeks it will take them to think 'this isn't funny anymore' and stop screaming 'Wilsoooooon'. Will for short, I think it's alright! Reminds me a bit of the neighbour in Home Improvement - he was pretty cool really.

ETA: But really, think of all the movies that will exist by the time his friends are old enough to be quoting movies...chances are our kids will never know about the movie Cast Away.

[WeeMansMummy]

I'm a fan
It would have to go well with your last name tho.
