I like the name but dislike it's rise in popularity. I know several people that have named their babies William (which is also a name I really like) and automatically call the baby Liam as a nn.
I have always loved the name Liam. However, it's far too popular now for me to even use it. In WA it is ranked #1 and it's #15 nationally. So that is a huge no go over here. We are using it for DS's middle name though.
This is our DS's name. We named him before we knew it was popular. Some people are bothered by popularity but it doesn't bother us one way or the other. It suits our son.
I like that it has a softer sound to it. I don't think a masculine name has to scream "I am man"! I prefer names that have a softer sound.
I also like that it is used in several areas of the world (I like a name that travels well).
Re: Liam?
This! Smh
This. 100%.
It is crazy popular in my area that it has made me dislike it.
