    I like it. You could shorten it to Will if you're not keen?

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

    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.

    It would have to go well with your last name tho.

    I think it's a great name. I don't even mind the movie reference, there are lots worse things to have as a nickname than Willllllsoooooooooooooooooooooon

    I'd even name my son that if we had one.

    Best of luck with your decision.

    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.

    I prefer Will over Wilson. Good luck with the names. It's such hard work.

    It makes me think of Home Improvement too
    Same here. That's the first thing I thought of. As well as Dennis the Menace - Mr Wilson.
