I really like the flow of the shorter names, Gilliland
Ford and Gilliand
Ellis because they just seem to slide off the tongue easily and flow into the last name better. Gilliland
William just has too many Ls to be said with ease, and I actually like Gilliland Williams better as it just gives the name a bit more dignified air and flows better.
Hickson ends rather the same so it makes it seem like the name of two different children, one named
Titus Gilliland and one named Hickson Hastings, also if your last name starts with an H like Hastings does then Hickson Hastings just seems like a stutter.
Ford from
Clifford and
Ellis for
Elsie do seem like the weakest honoring links as forms instead of the actual name but I like them best.
Titus is really cute and sounds rather nice with Gilliland. And the nickname
Gil is really lovely! :)
