[Opinions] Re: Names for our Twins
in reply to a message by pickles
Anderson Caldwell is too surnamey for me, so I would rather see those used on two different boys. In order to avoid Will Pickle you could you pick another nn for William? Billy or Liam? Or use it as a mn? Perhaps Anderson William? Of the pairs of boys names I like William Haley and Elijah Bishop the most. Elijah Bishop would be my choice for Charlotte's twin brother, followed by Lucas Bishop. :)
When do you find out what you are having? Or are you going to let it be a surprise?

Dh isn't a fan of Liam, he says it sounds too soft. It's not my favorite either. I kind of like Billy, but I have a feeling that will just get shortened to Bill, so it would pose the same problem that Will does. I guess we could always use the full name William all the time to avoid it. We find out in about four weeks what we are having. That is of course if they cooperate, and one isn't blocking the other.
I can understand about Liam. I wouldn't worry much about Billy becoming Bill, at least not as a child. Billy is a very youthful name, Bill sound much more grown up. Although my greatgrand father was a Billy his entire life, never ever a Bill. By the time a Billy is ready to become a Bill, he'd probably have outgrown the crowd that would notice(or at least be tactless enough to bring up) the dill pickle connection. Remaining William is a reasonable option, too. It is a handsome name, a nn isn't necessary.
Good luck with your ultrasound, I hope they cooperate! Can't wait to hear what their names are. :)
