It's a long, mouthful of a name, but Fitz and Will make cute nicknames. Especially if you like Will but only as a nickname, and don't like William, or are looking for an unusual way to get to it.

I actually love this name...admittedly because of the Mr. Darcy associations. But I doubt I would use it for my actual child.
