Anyone name their son William, but don't call him by a nickname (i.e., Will, Bill, Liam, etc)? Or know anyone who does this? My husband and I are leaning towards just naming our son William and calling him William! We can't decide on a nickname, but both agreed William itself is actually nice. To us, it's timeless and classic (and also a family name), but very few people actually go by William, making it a little unique.  It also seems like using the full form of classic names (i.e., Henry, Daniel, Charlotte) is making a comeback!
