William is an eternally popular name, I've found. Same thing happened with Jacob (my first born). Had 3 Jacobs on one baseball team one year.

Our youngest son is Will, short for William, which is a nod to my dad, Bill, whose name is really Billie, and who has 2 GIRLS named for him.

Turns out William ended up being really popular, think it was Lady Diana naming her son that? When he was in 2 year old church preschool in a class for 12 kids, there were 3 Williams. They had to call them each by full first and last names.
