Bill: A diminutive of the male given name William
One of his neighbours opposite, a nice old guy with a stoop and a horrible little Yorkshire terrier, called him Bill - always had done and presumably always would, right up till the day he died.

Why hadn't he just said, four years ago, Actually my name is Will?.
