    I feel your pain. I feel the same way you do about the names, though Liam is kind of a cool nn for William...

    I'm no help, sorry.

    I'm in kind of the same boat.  I don't love Theodore but DW is set on it--her grandfather's name.  I at least won out with Perry as our middle name (family tradition for generations in my family). I am warming up to Teddy as a baby nickname and plan to insist on Theo (NOT Ted!) eventually!

     I do like Liam as a nickname.  Where I live, in south Texas, Abel is a fairly common name--I've taught a couple of great kids named Abel, so I like it!  :)

    Honestly, our opinions don't matter if you don't like the first or middle names!! If your DH is insisting on William because of family tradition and you're willing to go along with that, then I think he should at least give you more say on the middle name and make sure it's one you really love and not just think is ok.

    Remember that in the end, it's not his decision alone. It's your (plural) child together, and neither of you has the "right" to override the other's opinions. If you choose to compromise, then obviously that's your decision, but don't feel pushed into a name just because he loves it.

    I like it. Abel was on my list, DH doesn't like it. I like William but personally wouldn't use it because of my aversion to "popularity."

    I agree with this completely.  You have plenty of time to decide on a name that you both feel sure about.
