Otherwise, It's great.

My son and his wife just named their newborn son Will. Not short for WillI'm, just Will. I love it!
My name is WillI'm, the third generation in my family and I am very proud of it, and It's long history. WillI'm the Conqueror, Prince WillI'm, etc. It's very versitile, WillI'm, Will, Bill, Billy or LI'm are all acceptable. Not common as well, which is a plus.
It's a little weird. You can break it down into Will-i-am. There are also too many nicknames for it. Will, Bill, Willy, Billy.
I love the name Will, for I have a crush with a boy named Will. But It's such a cute name. >>; (he can't know this!!)
