  1. My husband, his father, and grandfather are all named billy. My father, and grandfather and both billy as well. It was only fitting we added the first grandson, and the 6th billy to the family.
    I love the name, but it does get confusing. Now one grandpa is called BJ for billy Jack, and everyone else is called billy (middle name). We have nicknamed the baby “baby Hutch” or “thumper” to help bring some diversity to everyone.

  2. We chose the name based on my husband’s now deceased cousin. It matched the middle name perfectly and we feel his cousin is smiling.

    Billy is only a few days old and lives to cuddle, have boob, and watch tv with daddy. He loves his puppies and kitties, but also his fluffy bunny.

  3. I love this name because it has good meaning meaning.

  4. We picked Billy because it’s the name of my grandpa and my husband grandpa. We also have a lee theme with our kids and it just fit perfectly.
