HelpRe: Willoughby
in reply to a message by Billina
I definitely enjoy it in the middle slot, but I could probably enjoy it as a first as well. It has a "big open sky" kind of sound, with the "bee" ending giving it a bit of whimsy and spunk.
I see many posters here would think hipster parents wanted cooler version of Will / William, but personally, I'd figure the parents heard the name the same way I did, from Jane Austen. It is the character's surname, but it's what he's addressed by in the story and, despite Austen's character being a scoundrel, the name itself still manages to exude a romantic air. For me, the character didn't ruin the name. I'd think likely the same for Willoughby's parents.
