ArchivesRe: Nick name or not?
in reply to a message by Keely's mom
From the little research I have done, I have found Liam to be an Irish alternative form of William . This doesn't mean that "Liam " can't be used as a nick-name, because I'm sure some people do use it as one. But by today's standards, ANY name can be a name in its own right. (We make them up all the time around here!) If you are so concerned with the name having its own meaning (William means "determined guardian", so Liam would mean the same as it's an alternate form of William ), perhaps it would be best to choose another name. This is just my opinion;I'm sure someone else will say different. Although, I personally love the name Liam as a first or middle name.

Yes it does help tremendously!
That is what I have thought all long and I just needed to be reassured it is. I am going to name my son Liam (if we have a boy this December) and I am quite happy with the choice. I was meant with opposition some 6 years ago with my daughter's name,if you haven't already guessed, it is Keely . So this is not new to me and I am sure that sooner or later that Liam will be a name that most people will have heard of. You would think that Liam would have reached many people's ears by now because of the actor Liam Neeson.
Have a good day! Thank you!
