:(
How about skipping the William association altogether:
Abel nn Billy
Bilbo nn Billy
Bill nn Billy
Abimael nn Billy
Abilio nn Billy
Abimelech nn Billy
Baldwin nn Billy
Bartel nn Billy
Basil nn Billy
Blaine
Blair
Blaise
Blake
Campbell (that would be quite sweet, actually)
Gabriel - is that too much of a stretch?
Noble
Tybalt

Anything?

Bell!
Ah, I didn'[t even think of that connection.

On the TV show Fringe , one of the characters was named William Bell and they called him Belly. But, Billy would be a smooth transition (ignore that his first name also happens to be William).

Tybalt is also a great one (besides Campbell).

Yes!

I think we must have done a similar search just now, because I was just about to reply to my OP asking about Abel, Basil, and Tybalt, and I also picked out Archibald. I might consider Campbell, but as I never have before, it's going to take me a while to contemplate it.

Hooray! Yeah, Archibald could work too.
Is this for a really growing baby, a hypothetical one, or just for fun?

Tybalt nn Billy would be so totally awesome!
But Campbell nn Billy would be my personal first choice. Ahh, they are all good. :)

For fun and future reference, really :P I'm really starting to see the appeal of Campbell now, hmm...

Campbell may be fun... but I second the Tybalt vote. Could you imagine meetinga Tybalt? Swoon!
