Advice on Boy Name to go with short one syllable surname.
Okay so our surname is short and one syllable. It rhymes with Mill.
I love the name William. William John Mill sounds fine I think but we all know names get shortened. I love the name Will for short buttttttttt....... is Will Mill too much? I mean his name would be William and DH and his father and his grandfather etc etc have always had "Milly" (except with proper letter at the front) as a nickname rather than shortened version of their own names so chances are if bubs is a boy he would get the same by his peers and "Will" would most likely just get used at times when his full name wasn't necessary (i.e. by those not wishing to call him "Milly") and for the rest of it he would be referred to as William. Does that make sense?
We have other names as well, all with John as a middle name as that is DH's middle name and my dad's first name. We'd really like to have that as a middle name. We have Avery John, Jakeb John, William John and Spencer John. Spencer is DH's grandfather's name.
We are a little undecided with Avery. It surprised us that we both liked it as we go for more traditional names. At the end of the day, we won’t be naming the little one until we've met them but want to have a short list for boy and girl names.
So what does everyone think, a) about the William/Will question and about our other names?
Much appreciated!
