Liam to me is not a full name but it is fairly popular where I live, I know of four within my circle of freinds and family one is the son of my brothers common law wife his full name is Liam William!

I personally prefer William with Will as a nickname

Love William, dislike Liam

Love it. It's always been a fave of mine and I prefer it as a full fn, rather than a nn for William. I think if you call a child William and you want a nn, use Will! Anyway, Liam is great and I think if you really like it, then use it!

Love Liam, dislike William.

I love both Liam and William, so I'd use William nn Liam. What a perfect name!!!!

Liam is nmsaa. I love William though.

I prefer William with Liam as a nickname. I don't think nicknames should be planned by the parents, but left up to the child. I also don't think the choosing of a formal should revolve around a nickname.

I LOVE the name Liam! I really prefer Liam as a name by itself, using it as a nickname takes something away from it. I really like the combo Liam Christian.

I would use just Liam. In the English I speak, Liam isn't a natural nickname for William -- Will is. I actually think of Liam as an independent name based on William, rather than as a short form of it, because that's the only way I've ever encountered it.

I like it alright. An old friend of mine recently named her son Liam.

I LOVE both names. I would use William and call him Liam.

(my opinion only of course)

If going to use the name Liam at all, it is only acceptable as a nn. William is such a wonderful name itself, no nn is needed. However, if going to call a son Liam, name him William, and use Liam as the nn. Its a nice change from the ever popular Will, but Wiliam is much more perfered.
