Liam

What are your thoughts on the name Liam? Not short for William, just Liam.

Lovely name

I think Liam is a lovely name.

Liam was on our shortlist for 9wk old DS. Classic name that isn't overly popular, we didn't want him to be one of 3 or 4 in his class at school.

Nice! He won't be embarrassed by his name as he grows up, it's simple and lovely.

I think it's a strong name.
Maybe because the Liam we know is built like a house but as gentle as anything.

Not all teachers make assumptions.
Crap teachers who judge kids by their name should think about a different career.

My point is that thise teachers who really think there are 'naughty names' are biased, they already judge the kids and those kids who are naughty who have a name they've judge stick in their heads and confirms their prejudjce.
So when a 'good/nice' named kid is a little shit it doesn't resonate with that biased, crap teacher.

Hate it.
Sorry.

Really great name

A bit different but not obscure

I think it’s horrible. Sorry

I don't like it, there were loads around when Ds was born in 2001, every other kid seemed to be called Liam.

Lovely name, I know 2 Liams and they're growing up to be fine young men.

Liam reminds me of shameless

I guess the Gallagher and Shameless associations do have an impact for me, but I also know a 13yo called Liam, he’s an absolute asshole, a massive spoilt brat and a bully!! 😳
And his mother is horrific...the way she SCREECHES his name goes right through me, she’s just obscene, says his name just too many times.
It’s really tainted my view of an otherwise pretty bleurgh name.

Hate it - very 1980s.

I don't like it.

My DH is called Liam. He is a teacher.

Not sure what that means...

I don’t like it. To me it’s a ‘naughty boy’ name.

Oh and yes I also know a complete twat of a teenage Liam so that has probably clouded my judgement.

Still can't believe this is going on. For every twat of a liam there is a nice one. Just like the name you were given. Your name doesn't dictate your personality, characteristics or IQ.

It's a lovely name, my favourite for a boy.

DS would have been a Liam if i didn't have a long term on/off FWB thing with an ex of the same name.

Is your kid called Liam Newday1?

You’re very sensitive about this.

The op is asking for opinions on the name Liam!

Don’t like Liam at all. Will probably get shot down for this but it is a bit chavvy imo

Less popular than it was. A few years ago there were half a dozen Liams in every year group. (Secondary) but not as many now

It seems quite dated.
