"This was my aunt's name -- afte the infamous Wallis Simpson -- and she totally hated it. She said the only good thing about it was that when she went for interviews, the HR person was always taken aback because they expected a man from the resume name. Since she worked in predominantly male-dominated field, she felt that helped a little. At home or socially, however, she always went by her middle name, which was Carol." Mar. 23, 2016:
"This is my husband's name although he goes by Will. Whenever I think of Willis, I think of the line from the TV show, Different Strokes - "Watchoo talkin' 'bout, Willis?" My husband said he was teased alot in school with people saying this to him. Love my husband and love the name Will, but I am no fan of Willis." Jun. 20, 2009:

"Looks a bit like the first name of Wallis Simpson, the American divorcee for whom King Edward VIII gave up the English throne in 1936 after just a few months." Dec. 24, 2008:
