Well, if he liked William and you like Liam, why not William "Liam"? He doesn't have to call him Liam, my mum and dad have different nns for me. Also, he has a well known name on his birth certificate. Perfect compromise IMO. If you dislike nns and you think he will always be called William then I don't think its very likely unless your son wants to named William. He could get all his friends to call him Bill, whether you like it or not. I say name him William and call him Liam :)

Liam to me is a very Irish old man name, and very chavvy little boy name. William doesn't hold stereotypes, it is so classic.
Which one will do better? He will be the same person whether he is called Bob or Patrick or Will or William. A name will not define a person.
