Re: Billy
in reply to a message by Joiya
I don't think it's better, just more uncommon. There's also added appeal for me in that it was Vincent van Gogh's middle name :)
I do like Wilbur, and Willoughby, but I can't get behind the latter as an actual given name, though it might grow on me.
I've never encountered Jubal before, so thanks for introducing me to it! I'll also have a look for names with the b_l pattern.
I'd love to use Bilbo, sigh...
