William

Is it too cheesy to use if the sibling is grace?

  • You might get the occasional Will and Grace joke, but I think it's a good name.

  • Will he go by Will or William? I would find it funny, but I wouldn't make the connection unless he went by Will.

  • I did not make the correlation at all until someone mentioned Will and then it clicked, so I would say it should be just fine.

  • The question is, will it bother YOU if people male the occasional Will and Grace joke? If the answer is no, then go for it.

    I totally didn't make the Will and Grace connection until someone else mentioned it, so I think it's ok. Beautiful names!

    Also, their peers will probably never really make the connection either. The shows been off the air for a few years already now, and as they age it will be less memorable.

    He's my fairytale, a dream when I'm not sleeping.

  • I love the name and did not make the connection! I am sure their peers would never know either:

  • Thanks for the replies! I can handle the occasional joke I just don't want people to think we are insane for having that sibset. I never really liked the show either! I would likely call him Will or Liam for short.

    We don't have any boys names we can agree on besides William which is a family name but my DH is bothered by the will and grace thing.

  • Love it.

  • I agree with everyone else, it's cute! I didn't catch the "will and grace" reference until I read other posts either!
  • I didn't get the connection at first either. I say go for it, but things like this don't bother me. My son is Malcolm and is about to be a middle child. While my IL's make a "Malcolm in the middle" reference any chance they get, I don't think his peers will.

  • I didn't make the connection either... Until someone pointed it out.

    I agree with PP that the show will have been off the air for a long time by the time LO's are older.

  • My DS is named William - it was the ONLY boy name we could agree on when we were expecting. If we have a girl we are considering something along the lines of "Grace" And we call our son Will. I find it humorous, but not cheesy. It makes me giggle a little and I love it! :) William is a good strong masculine name, and Will makes it shorten nicely. I LOVE it! :)
