People Named William, Bill, Billy, Will, Willie or Willa

By William Timmerman

What's in a name? Identity. My name on my birth certificate is John William but as a young boy they called me Billy, a nickname which is a descriptive name given instead of or in addition to the one belonging to a person. They could have called me Johnny, Willie, Will, Jack or Bill. Through the years I have been called "Wild Bill", "Bill" but never "Sweet William" like in the "Big Bad Bill" song by Peggy Lee.Join the author as he tells how popular the name "William" is and what the name means. He reminds the reader of the famous people named William, Bill, Billy, Willie, Will and his grandniece named Willa. And, what first name was the most common on the Texas side at the Alamo? The little book is a tribute to all the boys and men in the family that have William as their first or middle name and to a little gal name Willa.
