Re: Willoughby
in reply to a message by Billina
I think it looks all right for a boy, though I prefer it more for a girl.
If I ever get a chance to meet a boy/guy named Willoughby, I would presume that:
1) His parents wanted a rare alternative to William
2) His parents liked the name when they were reminded of willow trees
3) He might have got it from the name of the place, surname of one of his parent's ancestors etc.
