Wish

Well, I want to give my gift to my 5-year-old nephew in Chinese New Year and my wishes will be printed on the surface of the gift, which read:

(William is my nephew's name)

To little William:

Best wishes to you in the Chinese New Year. May you grow up as an excellent expert in the scientific field that you appreciate with your free will.

Your uncle
2005 Chinese New Year

Please edit it.

I feel "To William" sounds like to an adult, though in the text there was "grow up" there.

In English we use just the first name as a familiar for any age. People (including children and adults) often have nicknames, though. A 'William' is often called 'Will', '*****', 'Bill' or 'Billy'. If you are called 'Billy' as a youth, you might graduate to 'Bill' among your friends, as you get older.

'Little ~~' is not normal, however.
