[Facts] Re: My column on Liam
I am a little curious that Liam Gallagher (of the Rock band Oasis) has no mention in your article. He's definitely the first person coming to my mind when hearing the name Liam alltho' Liam is only his stage name and he's a legal William.

I don't know about Liam since not many people like Liam Gallagher (at least where I live which is the UK). A bit off topic but you do have a point; I think his brother Noel Gallagher has had a positive impact on the name Noel here, and also Lyla, which rose in popularity after their song Lyla was released in 2005.

I only have so much space in my column, and as it's written for a newspaper in Nebraska, I'm going to favor mentioning people I think Nebraskans would know. Plus I am 64 years old myself so 1990s rock bands don't come to mind very easily for me. Oasis does seem to have been most popular around the same time that "Schindler's List" came out -- but Mr. Gallagher also seems to have been a bit notorious for making anti-American comments back then.
