What are your thoughts on Liam? I think I prefer it as a shortening for William but not sure. I actually really like William too but not so keen on Will.

I don't even like Lee. Or Leigh. And sticking a sort of Um on the end does not improve the sound.

My preferred nn for William is Billy, followed by Will. I'm not overly keen on Liam, it's a bit dated to the 80s/90s in the U.K.

I really like it! I prefer it on its own but I don't reject the idea of it being used as a nickname. I honestly prefer Liam to William but its good as a nn as well as a standalone.
Though all the Liam's I've ever known were just Liam, no William

Meh. I don't really love it or really hate it, but object to its popularity.

If my coming grandchild is a boy, his name will be William nn Liam. I far prefer Will as a nickname, but it's taken. It's what my son William is called.

Hi Mareasi !!!

Liam is far better than Bill.
But Liam is also worse than Will.

Liam has an unpleasant sound imo.
I much prefer Will as NN for William although I like saying names without shorten them.

In general, William's nn will be Bill or Liam. Liam is kinda pretty.

Please vote on my lists, thanks!
