For some reason I know lots and lots of little Liams. (Some parents care about how popular a name is, some don't, just thought I'd weigh in.)
Also, with the dh thing, I've found that if I suggest a name he doesn't like, I wait about a month without talking about it and then ask him again. With a couple of names, he's liked them better hearing them the 2nd or 3rd time around b/c he's more familiar with it. (in my experience, lots of guys immediately object to unfamiliar names.)

I don't care for Liam (especially not as a stand alone name). It is becoming trendy/popular. I see is as the Bill for this generation. I much prefer Will as a nickname for William.?
DH and I both love "liam", but it is getting SO popular.

A rejection is Gods protection. A dissapointment is His reappointment
I like William, because it is my husband's middle name, but he doesn't like it. He doesn't want anyone calling our son Bill. I chose Liam as an alternative for it, and I am Irish and like it. I didn't realize it is getting so popular, because I don't know anyone with the name. Interesting to hear that so many people have been hearing this name so much. Figures

I like it a lot, but there are a million little Liam's in my neck of the woods. That doesn't matter to everyone, but there you go.
As for getting DH to agree...I have no idea. My top ten names were all blackballed by him.
I actually love the name Liam. It is high on my list of boy names. I only know one Liam and I went to college with him.
Me too! It's one of our top contenders.
Part of the reason I like it is because I am Irish.
