DS is Billy. Do you think Sally goes with his name? if not any other suggestions welcome!

I like Sally, its cute for a baby and pretty for a girl/woman. Also not many around, which is nice.

Another alternative; Samantha - could be nicknamed Sammy?

I have a lovely relative called Sally which colours my opinion of it - cute, little bit different yet easy to spell

Sorry, don't like it. It makes me think of Aunt Sally, and a friends dog is called sally.

I love it

One of my father's sisters is called Sallie (nickname for Sarah). And one of his brothers is called Bill (nickname for Cecil William).

I like Sally. Not sure it goes with Billy though...sounds a bit odd.

I had a great aunt called Mollie (nickname for Monica) and I have a second cousin called after her...

I know someone with a Millie and Maddie and that sounds stupid as well.

Sally deserves a comeback - it's a sweet name. And one of my best friends is one, so I'm biased.

Doesn't go with Billy though.

what do you think would go with Billy then? i'm open to suggestions. i would like something short as we have a very long surname.

Is Billy a nickname for William, or is the name on his birth certificate Billy?
