my bf is called westley, before I'met him it was actually his name that attracted me to him, as i hadn't heard it before. I think It's a brilliant and fun name, which suits his personality well haha. the one thing he hates though, is when people call him "wesley", it has a "T" in it, don't know why people whose not to bother pronouncing it hahaha

A deciding factor between'the names Westley and Wesley, for us, was the fact that the 'T' in Westley makes the'speaker'smile when pronouncing the name. Going through life with a name that makes people smile seemed like an auspicious beginning for our little fella.
