Liam

[17caterpillars1mouse]

What are your thoughts on Liam? Possibly as a stand alone name or possibly as a shortening for William. I actually really like William but ways assumed everyone would shorten it to Will?

Do you know any William's who go by Liam? And how many Liam's do you know?

I live in Northern Ireland and have never met an Ulliam either. Lots of Liams though, both as a stand alone name and as a short version of William. Traditional and still popular here, but that doesn't stop it being a very lovely name.

Thank you squoosh

I'm really surprised that it's common knowledge that Liam is an Irish name, I had no idea To me it sounds so English and none of the Liam's I have looked after had obvious Irish connections.

It's like that other Irish boys' name that was embraced by the UK and then fell majorly out of fashion................KEVIN.

I have a Liam (Christened William) and he is the loveliest kind and sweet boy who has lots of empathy for other people (he is 8 btw). His dad is called William (Bill) and his dad is called William (Billy) and his dad was called William so I had to concede for family tradition even though I am not a fan of William (the Bill, Billy thing). He has been called Liam from the sec he was born and in school etc no one even realises he is actually a William and it's never been a problem
My sister is a teacher and she did say all the naughty boys were called Liam 😂 mine isn't xx

I have never met a Liam who wasn't nice.

I like the name.
