Re: Will
in reply to a message by Violet
No, definitely not. For me Will is much too short to stand on its own. Plus it's a very common word, which doesn't help it to try to be a full name. But I love love love Will as a nn for William. It's sooo handsome. And now you've made me sad again that I'll never be able to use my favorite boy's name ever. :P
I'm not terribly comfortable with Leo as a name on its own, but the difference between the two is that 1) William is WAY more common than any other Leo- names, and 2) Leo can be a nn for several somewhat common names, while any other name besides William that Will could be short for are much much more uncommon.
