I like Will, but wilson is not for me

**ezymay** · January 23rd, 2011, 06:56 PM

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

**Joeve** · January 23rd, 2011, 06:58 PM

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.

I really like it and Will is a great classic nickname.

**Beautiful Disaster** · January 23rd, 2011, 08:30 PM

I like it too but as Jak said would have to go with surname.

**sconeonamission** · January 23rd, 2011, 08:31 PM

I've never seen the movie, so I wouldn't have even thought! I forgot all about home improvements neighbour... I just thought of House's bestfriend - (James) Wilson.

I like the name!

**Rowellen** · January 24th, 2011, 08:17 AM

I like it too. It was on my list but DH didn't like due to the cast away reference. I don't think that really matters though. I also had Cameron on my list but DH vetoed that one too

My first thought is the neighbour of Home Improvement but I do like Wil....

Maybe a middle name?

**Duchess** · February 14th, 2011, 08:09 PM

Wilson is a great name with your surname.
Our DD is jemima and everyone says 'jemima puddleduck' or 'jemima from play school' etc then they get over it and realise jemima is jemima her own name for an individual girl.

My brothers are Russell and Andrew both can be surnames and their surname Duncan can be a first.....

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

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.
