About Pim
Short but spirited, Pim is in the Top 200 in The Netherlands, though it is little-known elsewhere. A diminutive of Willem (or William), it possibly emerged via its rhyme with alternative, more direct short form, Wim.
Pim for boys
While some English speakers may be reminded of pimples or Pimms, it could nevertheless make an original nickname in a family with lots of Williams, setting a child apart from father Will and grandpa Bill.
Pim for girls
Pim is traditionally a male nickname in the Netherlands, but its relative obscurity in the US would allow you to get away with using it for a daughter. This name has never been recorded in the US - for boys or girls. But it's style match with other slim, boyish nicknames for girls like Lou and Scout means Pim may not stay off the grid for much longer.
Pronounced PIM.
