I don't like it much, for girls or boys. I associate it with the phrase 'silly billy' and I've never really liked the songs of Billie Holiday - too much gloom. Although if I was forced to name a daughter after a William, I'd absolutely pick Billie over Wilhelmina.

Billy for a boy was top 100 here in the 90s (dropping now) so there must be quite a few twentysomething Billys around now. I wonder how many of them switched to Bill.
