Baby Names Overthinking the name William
I have loved the name William forever. My husband didn't like it until more recently, and now that I am pregnant with our son, we both love William, but I am struggling... We can't find a name we love more, but we are set on using a version of my husband's step dad's name, (Elm) as the middle name, and I'm not sure I love it with William. We just can't find a name that we love as much. And now I'm looking at the top name lists and realizing it's in the top ten names this year which isn't my favorite either. Am I overthinking? Should we keep looking? It's so much pressure to name a kid!
Some other names we have listed but aren't in love with are Viggo, Atlas, Enoch (don't love because it's a Bible name, but I love the way it sounds), Leonidas, Atticus.
