Is Liam too popular?

Question

I love the name Liam but I worry about how popular it is. Do you think it’s worth it to use it for my child? We have two boys already and we’re struggling to find names we like!

Answer

My baby boy, born on the 8th, is named Liam. It was the first name we liked but we sidelined it due to it being so popular. Then I realized that it really doesn’t matter how popular it is because our Liam is special to us.

Answer

My daughter is Chloe which is very popular but it honestly doesn't bother me, I still love her name. I grew up with a unique name so not sure if it will bother her later on or not lol.

Answer

I like it, but it is crazy popular. You could always just name him William and call him Liam. That way if the popularity bothers him when he gets older, he has a ton of other nicknames to choose from.

Answer

I know 2 Liam. One is 47 & the other is 7/8 years old. You’ll be fine

Answer

The only name I’ve liked so far for a boy is Liam. And we chose it YEARS ago, before it became so popular. We’re finally having a baby and I’m pissed at how popular it’s become over the past couple of years. I don’t want our baby to have the same name as 6 other kids in the class. It’s gotten me pretty upset. :(

Answer

My almost 2 year old is named Liam. It was the only name my husband and I could agree on and my husband's middle name is William so it was special to him.I haven't heard of too many Liam's so far, where I live. If you love it, go for it.

Answer

I like it too, but it is very popular. I work in an elementary school and I know about 20 Liams ranging from K-5th grade. And it’s a small school lol. But if you like it, who cares!

Answer

In the US, its about one in every hundred boy babies that's named Liam. For reference, at its height in the late 80s early 90s, about two in every hundred girl babies were named Ashley. So it's about half as popular as Ashley was at its height.
My elementary school had four Ashleys in my grade (although statistically we should have had two, if all Ashleys were distributed equally throughout the country, which of course they were not). So I'm guessing your Liam (if you live in the US) would grow up with quite a few other Liams, and would sometimes need to be Liam P or Liam L or whatever. But not every year.
Personally I think it's too popular, for my purposes. But you are the only one who can decide if it's too popular for your comfort.

Answer

I know two Liam’s that were born this week! Very popular but still a great name.

Answer

I don’t think I’ve met a Liam before! It’s not a name I hear a lot. 😀
