Callum or Liam

I know a lot of people will say neither, but if anyone has a preference i'd be interested.
I'm 36 weeks and we had decided on Callum (baby is def a boy) but i keep hearing it around and think i've gone of it a bit. Only other name i really like is Liam. My husband says Callum is his first choice but that he doesn't mind the name Liam.
I know they're not in keeping with the present name trend of Arthur, Seth George etc but we already have 2 boys and their names are Kyle and Owen.
Anyway any votes/thoughts apprecaited, thanks Smile

Liam for me.

I like both - a lot - but then I've got no klarse and apparently both are "naff"! Wink But then I don't like the Seth/Arthur/Piggingdon/St. John stuff.

Liam. But I am biased Smile

They're not my cup of tea, but I much prefer Liam to Callum.

I once heard a comic (can't think who) say that certain names land with a thud, and that's how I think Callum sounds out loud. Might just be the accents round here though!

Thanks everyone, i'm definately swaying towards Liam.

Liam is much nicer imo.

I love Liam with William as long version.

Liam would go better with your son's names

I like Liam....I know a little boy called Callum and he gets called Callie.

I like both. A lot.

Prefer Liam. Really don't like Callum for some reason.
