Similar to Liam

SCP081206 · April 2014

Hello, I spent some time going over our boy name list and came back to Liam even though we had already crossed it off. I really like the sound of the name and the flow with our other children (Lucas, Joel and Delaney.) I am not sure if I can use such a popular name though so I was wondering if you could suggest similar names. I did this on nameberry already and didnt come up with anything that wowed me.

Well Lucas is pretty popular so I don't see the issue with using Liam.

I love Liam. I've never known anyone with that name in my life. When I think of Liam the next name I think of is Leland.

Well, I wasn't aware of all the avenues to check up on name popularity when we had Lucas 6 years ago. When we selected the name it was like #40 I think?? Anyways, we might not have selected it if we knew that it was so popular but it isn't in the top 10 like Liam is.

(I went more with "not popular" and "pairs well with siblings" than "is like Liam".)

I hear you...I was shocked that Jude was close to the top 100. Other boy names you may like:

Ian, Ewan, Graham, Rhys

My son's name is JACOB... OMG, not name #1!!!!!!! But it's a family name, and our guy is such a Jake, so I'm so glad we went with it. We just paired it with a less common mn (Arlo, also a family name). So if you like Liam just go for it (and like pp said, Lucas is pretty popular, so the unique-ship has already sailed for you guys).
