Liam
I don't think many people on BtN like this name- I always hear that it should be short for William- but I have always liked how warm and friendly it is. It's popular, I know, but that doesn't bother me, since I'm not naming a baby. Anyway, what do you think of Liam? What vibe does it give you? What would you use as a middle name? **Starfish and coffee, maple syrup and jam/Butterscotch clouds, a tangerine, and a side order of ham**

I like it and while I think it is fine as a nickname for William, though I think Will is better, I think Liam can stand on it's own.

It has a circa 2000 vibe to me: that's when I liked it, anyway. It's sturdy for a NN and more cheerful than William.
Liam sounds youthful. He's a preteen who's good at soccer and mediocre at guitar, if he's anyone specific at all.It reminds me a little of Travis, kind of? But younger.I think the Lee part is annoying to me, but I tend to like names that end with m.Liam Walter

Liam DanielI don't think I'd pair it with anything long or weird.

It’s dated in the UK. It was in the top 10 in 1996. It’s not really my style but I’ve also met a few who have put me off the name!

It's very popular, very popular. I don't care for it, and I think it's a boring name. William is better in my opinion. William is also a very popular name, but you can have so many nicknames. Liam doesn't give you that.

Hi !!!I rate Liam 2/10.It is an overused nickname. However the most important thing is that it has an horrible sound in my opinion.I much prefer Will. It is sunny, friendly and dignified plus the word 'will' has its own meaning in English.

Liam is a loud-voiced Irish lorry driver in his forties. His cab is littered with coffee cups, Guinness bottles and pizza boxes; he is overweight. You can tell when he's approaching from the volume at which he plays his music.
