Is Liam getting to popular?

I love the name Liam but I am starting to hear it more and more. My girlfriend told me that there are three boy named Liam in her sons preschool class.

I would have to say yes, not only is it becoming more popular as a stand alone it is often used as a nn for William.

I think so, I know two babies born within the last year named Liam as a stand alone name.

It's extremely popular in Canada -- it's the #2 name in like 5 or 6 of the provinces here, it's nuts!

Meanwhile, in the States it's still in the 50's or something. I think it depends on where you live. You could look up your name list by State to give you a good idea (https://www.ssa.gov/OACT/babynames/state/index.html).

I've only met one IRL, so I'd say no

I say as a stand alone name it is gaining popularity.

As a nn for William, I don't think so.

I don't know any IRL. It was our boy name when I was pg.

i'm only aware of one kid named liam in my area (i'm not around kids that much, though), however, based on the bump/the nest, liam seems to be quite popular.

I love it even if it is getting popular! Liam is a great name.

If this baby is a boy, he'll be William, nickname Liam.  I don't know a single Liam in real life, but it seems popular on here.  It won't stop me from using it though.

Who cares! I love Liam!! And I see your first son's name is Luke! So Luke and Liam sound like a great set of brothers!!
