love the name William...no not after the Prince

I am dead set on William. My husband is dead set on Dean.

WDYT of William Dean? Doesn't blow my hair back.

 I like William Alexander but our last name is Adams, so the baby's initials would be WAA. reminds me of whining lol.

 I think a monosyllabic middle name that does not start with A would be a good choice for a middle name. 

May I have your thoughts?

Little man is going to be a William too (great name!) and we're going with William Ross (Ross is Monsieur's favorite uncle). William Alexander is really nice, but it's a bit high fallutin'--not tragically so, but it's rather of fancy. Some other thoughts...

William Max

William Mark

William Paul

William David

William Brian

William Henry

William Michael

Thank You for the name suggestions. I think William Alexander sounds pretty posh/fancy also, maybe that's why I like it. When I hear "William" it really sounds like such a strong, masculine name, which is what I am really looking for. Its funny how names create images in your head.

Nice job on William Ross, I love seeing family names incorporated for sentimental value. 

For some reason, the middle initial A for Alexander, paired with A for Adams bothers me...anyone else agree? WAA doesn't look right.

William is nice but I prefer Dean.  Dean Adams sounds really good.

I think William Dead Adams is a great name. Could be a judge, could be a rock star. Your husband likes it. It's a good compromise with your two choices. What's wrong with that?

I really like William Alexander. I'm not a fan of Dean.

BTW, I like William Dean. I used to hate the name Dean, but it's grown on me over the years.

If you want off the wall, my grandpa is William Virgil

I like William too. A lot.

I Love William Dean! Also Dean William. They're both family names and on my list!

I like Wiliam Dean.

I really like both William and Dean. I'd go with Dean because he'll just be another William. It's too popular.

I love the name William and actually like the name William Dean.

I also LOVE the name WIlliam.  Scared to use it though because I think EVERYONE will be naming their son that after this royal wedding and everything.  I'm sure there will be a rise in Kates and Catherines too.  

 

Of your two...I surprisingly like William Dean better...especially with your last name.  I love the name Alexander... but I agree...not a fan of WAA

A lot of people have been naming their sons William, long before the royal wedding. It's not exactly an obscure name.

I love both William and Dean! I agree, Dean is definitely the more refreshing choice for a fn, due to the popularity of William. Both Dean William and William Dean sound fine.

i actually think a longer middle would go well since the other names are 2-syllable. maybe:

william benjamin

william gabriel

william christopher

william elias

william everett

william philip [too many Ls?]

william theodore

william nicholas

any longer family name either of you might have would work well also. i assume you've already considered your maiden name?

My dad's name was William Dean; my son's MN is William after him.
