Not my cup of tea.

Not my cup of tea.

Willoughby is my favourite spelling and he is one of Austen’s villains. A lot of girls like a bad boy though till he breaks their heart.

Willoughby is the characters last name.

I really like Willoughby. Willoby looks wrong.

Too "wallaby" for me,

Stick with Willoughby

Or Willow-Bea for a girl ;)

Why mess with Willoughby? It's pretentious, I'd never dream of using it, but at least it's authentic.

Looks like a typo. I prefer Willoughby by far.

I prefer the original spelling - Willoby looks misspelled to me. Overall I'm not a fan of the name. It's very posh, like something on a caricature of an aristocrat. I wouldn't be surprised if the person who used it was a fan of Austen or Bronte, as it has the vibe of a name they'd use for one of their Lord-type heroes/love interests.

Willoby is just silly-looking, with the word “lob” stuck in there.

Willoughby is much better as a place name, anyway.

I've only ever seen Willoughby, so I guess I'd prefer that, but I think it's quite pompous for a first name.
I know some people who raised a young steer and called him Willoughby (not sure how they spelled it) Burger.
