Guys called Will usually seem to have a laddish, misogynistic, slightly unintelligent, "locker room talk" kind of vibe. Sorry to all the decent guys called Will out there.

Will Newman is the main male character in the book "Five Feet Apart" and its 2019 adaptation movie. He is a 17-year-old boy with Cystic Fibrosis, a terminal genetic disease that damages the patient's lungs and has a high rate of early mortality. The disease isn't contagious, but patients have a high risk of cross-infection, so it is necessary for them to keep a distance of at least six feet between each other. The book and movie tell the story of how Will met and fell in love with a fellow Cystic Fibrosis-er named Stella Grant, and their relationship five feet apart from each other.

I know an 8-year-old boy named Will, so I guess I think of him and his personality when I hear this name. I like it; William sounds nice but a bit too formal. Will and Willie are nice nicknames.

It is said to resemble a flickering lamp and is sometimes said to recede if approached. Much folklore surrounds the phenomenon.
Folklore is pretty cool :)

The comments for this name surprise me. Though I have truly favored every William/Will I have ever met and have found them to be very charming with attractive personalities, they turn out to be deceitful and untrustworthy, a bit roguish, not at all wholesome. But I'm especially surprised that everyone hates the nickname Billy, I love it! I called my uncle "Billy" all through my childhood and still do even though he's going by Will now, the other William I'm close to goes by Billy as well.

I like Will better than the other versions. For one thing, William is kind of awkward to say. Bill and Billy just sound gross, and Willie sounds like the name of a toddler or makes me think of Willie Loomis (Barnabas' Collins servant on the old soap Dark Shadows). Will however is shorter and less painful to the ears. I used to hate all versions of this name, but Will is starting to really grow on me.

A much better nickname for William than Bill or Billy. I can't stand those two. However, I find William itself dreadfully boring. It would be nice to hear this to be short for something else for a change. In Will Smith's case, it's short for Willard, which seems hard to imagine.

Can be used to describe someone of extreme determination. One of my friends is called "[insert my hometown's name here] Will", even though he is named Eric, because he has such fierce determination when he sets his mind to something.

By chance, this name has a meaning unrelated to its origin. The English word "Will" as in personal determination and desire gives it a strong and assertive connotation adding to its masculinity.
