Christened with the name Dweezil Moon-Unit Boggs, the future governor had a terrible time with bullies while growing up. His constant anger over his name meant that he had no friends, and when he had free time (which wasn't much because he lived in a time when people had to do actual work instead of sitting on their butts playing Gameboy all day) he developed a fascination for fire and gunpowder. After he burned down the barn at age 9, everyone started calling him Lil' Burn, which he changed his name to at age 18. He chose Williams for a middle name so that he could have at least one normal name.
