[Opinions] Re: William or Liam
in reply to a message by bagulec
Which one would you choose and why? Liam.
What's your impression of both names? William is a decent "classy" name but marshmallowy. Will is the natural nickname for it, to me. Liam sounds fresher, less stodgy, but not all that different from Will. Maybe a tad less "mainstreamy," and more stylized or fashionable.
People you know: the toddling son of a high school friend. William is - a peer of mine (mid-30s) very witty, smart, mellow, okay-looking but unsuccessful guy, and also the 12-ish son of my ex-boss, a spunky kid called Will.
which one is smarter? William
better looking? Liam
which one will do better as a child - either.
teenage boy - Liam
adult man - either. Possibly Will.
who would you to be friends with? Hm. I think of Liam as less predictable, more intriguing; Will is more witty and reliable but less interesting.
