Boy or girl or both?

It makes me think of the book The Wolves of Willoughby Chase by Joan Aiken, one of my favorite books as a kid. Definitely an upper-crust English boy.

Definitely a boy in my book. Makes me think of a blond preteen in the Australian outback.

I like the sound, but I would prefer to spell it Willoby.
I like it better on a boy.

I find I've a distaste for it. I think due to the Jane Austen character. That -ough- is heavy visually in an unpleasant way as well. Though alternate spellings are terrible. I also think that letter sequence very masculine (again hardly logocal)
Willemina Beatrix called Willa Bea is my new favorite idea though.

Boy, it's ok but nms. Sounds like the name of an Austen character.

Don't like it

It IS fun to say.
I like it, but wouldn’t use it as a first name. Nice surname or mn(any gender, it would count as “name + surname + surname”)

^^^ That is basically my stance too. I don’t mind it on boys, but it fits a lot better as a middle or last name in my opinion.
