HelpRe: Bear, Banjo, & Wilkie
in reply to a message by Billina
One of my favourite little boys in the whole entire world, who I have spent a lot of time over the past couple of years caring for is named Wilkie. His full name is William though...he is never called William, only Wilkie so far.
I adore it. It suits him so well, and it is my favourite nickname for William. If I had a William of my own (which is not out of the realm of possibility), he'd be nicknamed Wilkie most probably. I think it is a little juvenile as a full name.
Bear is silly as anything other than a nickname to me.
Banjo is a weird one. I'm Australian and so it actually gives me a kind of warm feeling when I hear it as Banjo Paterson is such a national legend and hero of sorts. I wouldn't use it but I don't think it is awful as a name. Better for a dog maybe but the Aussie in me sees it as a human name too because I think of Paterson.
