I want to like Liam...But I think its too popular

(See title) Any comments, suggestions, alternatives, etc.?

[name_m]Liam[/name_m] is my favorite name. While it ranks in the top 10, I still love it! ([name_m]William[/name_m] ranks high in charts as well.)
I myself know many children, as I work in childcare, and do not know any [name_m]Liam[/name_m]'s (of any age).
I do know one boy (11 years old) with the middle name [name_m]Liam[/name_m].
I know a 10 year old [name_m]William[/name_m], and no others.
It may be popular but is it popular in your area? [name_f]Do[/name_f] you know many?

Thanks! [name_m]Levi[/name_m], [name_m]Asher[/name_m], [name_u]Elias[/name_u] and [name_m]Cole[/name_m] are already on my list. Adding a lot of the others now! I know two or three people named [name_m]Liam[/name_m], so I guess you could say its popular in my area.

I have a relative that named her son [name_m]Liam[/name_m] and instantly regretted it and started calling him by his middle name. It is very popular, so you would have to be okay with him having other Liams in his classes. Here are some other ideas:

[name_u]Max[/name_u]
[name_m]Gabin[/name_m]
[name_m]Malcom[/name_m]
[name_m]Louis[/name_m]
[name_m]Atlas[/name_m]
[name_m]Magnus[/name_m]
[name_m]Victor[/name_m]
[name_m]Trip[/name_m]
[name_m]Harvey[/name_m]
[name_u]Finch[/name_u]
[name_m]Linus[/name_m]
[name_m]Cap[/name_m]
[name_m]Abel[/name_m]
[name_m]Leif[/name_m]

I can see [name_m]Liam[/name_m] becoming the number one name. I only know one and his full name is [name_m]William[/name_m]. I totally get your dilemma. [name_m]Liam[/name_m] is one of my favorites and I have a soft spot for Irish names. :slight_smile:

[name_u]Aidan[/name_u]
[name_m]Beckett[/name_m]
[name_m]Caleb[/name_m]
[name_m]Declan[/name_m]
[name_u]Emmett[/name_u]
[name_m]Ethan[/name_m]
[name_u]Evan[/name_u]
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m]
[name_u]Finn[/name_u]
[name_u]Owen[/name_u]

I understand. [name_m]Liam[/name_m] is one of my favorites, but it’s just so popular. Here are some others that I like…

[name_u]Reid[/name_u]
[name_m]Dawson[/name_m]
[name_u]Quinn[/name_u]
[name_m]Beau[/name_m]
[name_u]August[/name_u]
[name_u]Elliott[/name_u]
[name_m]Damon[/name_m]
[name_m]Cian[/name_m]
[name_m]Gavin[/name_m]

[name_m]Just[/name_m] a thought, [name_m]Leon[/name_m] is super similar

Perhaps [name_m]Liev[/name_m]?
