Girl's name that goes with Will?

COaug08

We have a son named Will (William) and need a girl's name. I want to stick with something old-fashioned and feminine (and easy to spell/pronounce). Due to our last name, Ella is out. I really like Lillian, but my husband pointed out that we would have a Lilly and a Willy. I want something that can be shortened to a nickname. We've thought about:

Evelyn (nickname Evy)
Elizabeth (though, not sure what we'd use for a nickname)
Clarabelle (nickname Clara or Belle)
Eliana (nickname Anna)
Juliana (nickname Anna)
Another name that we could use Anna as the nickname???

Any thoughts or suggestions? Middle name will probably be Kay or Grace (or something with a single syllable).

I think you have a great list! I love Eliana, Juliana and Clara (but not Clarabelle)! Those were all on my list.

I also love Vivienne/Vivian, Gwyneth or Gwendolyn (nn Gwen), Eliza, Julia and Anna.

Elli

Liza or Lisa

Elise

What about just Anna?  I do like Juliana as well.

Obviously I love the name Elizabeth (my DD's name) and there are so many great nicknames you can get from it.  DD is Betsy, but we loved Libby as well.  I'd say any Elizabeth nn would be a good fit with Will.

I think Evelyn and William are a great sib-set!!! Also, I really appreciate the classic nicknames you have here - Will and Evy.

I think William and Elizabeth sounds positively dreamy!

I see why you are having trouble with choosing a nn: there are so many to choose from! Babette, Bess, Beth, Betsy, Bette, Betty, Elise, Elsa, Elsie, Libby, Liz, Liza. This is good, because you have a chance to see which one she most looks like, and go with that. Plus she can choose whichever she likes best when she is older.
