Boy name help!

[esthermm.livejournal.com]

Hey guys - just found this community!
We basically picked our boy's name but are trying to think of middle names now. My favorite name ever is Bjorn but we decided against it because it was too hard to pronounce for my family. So we finally decided on Liam. The last name is Heselton. I don't think that Bjorn works as a middle name with Liam (Liam Bjorn Heselton) so I'm trying to find a new name. I am French so maybe something French so my family doesn't feel left out?

Thank you :)

ETA: How popular is Liam in the US? I'm not familiar because I live in Quebec ATM but my husband is American and we are planning on moving there soon. It's a unique name here but is it still unique in the US?

I'd say Liam is gaining popularity. Not sure I'd ever see it on, say, the top 10, but a few years ago I'd never heard of the name and now it pops up now and again.

Liam Bjorn isn't bad, but it does make me think of the baby carrier, it's like the expensive must have fancy carrier for those who don't use ring slings, wraps, or mei tais.

ETA: Liam has grown in popularity tremendously over the last decade, but I think it only cracked the top 100 names in 2005/06. Don't know where is placed in 2009, but I know it was 75th in 2008, which is when my nephew had his son lol.

Haha, my last name is "Mathieu", it would confuse the hell out of people! I love Henri and Olivier (We were actually thinking Oliver).

LOL, well...at least you have a last name worthy of a middle name. I've decided that I'll be tacking on my last name as a second middle name to any future spawn...and I have a silly last name LOL.

Yeah I thought that too. I got the name from our Dutch friend. Do people pronounce the carrier name "Beeyorn" too?

[harinakshi.livejournal.com]

Yea, Beeyorn, although I always want to say BeJorn.

Howdy! This (http://www.babynamewizard.com/voyager/#prefix=LIAM&ms=false&sw=f&exact=false) site is very helpful with tracking rises (and falls) in US baby name popularity.

Aww, I think Liam Bjorn is great!

[starskye.livejournal.com]

I do too actually!

I love the name Liam. I'm not sure of any French middle names but I have a friend who used Liam Dean and I think it sounds really nice.

Good luck :)

no, liam is pretty far from unique here at least in my portion of the US, which is new england. i am constantly meeting little liams. ugh.

[esthermm.livejournal.com]

Damn it! We are intending to live North of Boston.

Other question, how is Xavier pronounced in english? I have a feeling it is butchered from the original "xah-vee-a(pronounced like the letter a)"

[esthermm.livejournal.com]

Really? Aww yay. Now I need to convince husband. haha

Late but gotta comment cause you suggested my name ;) Plus your icon is fierce!

[hollis1975.livejournal.com]

so is yours!

[ifancylust.livejournal.com]

liam is becoming verrrrrrry popular in the US. i'd steer clear of it if you're worried about popularity.

[ifancylust.livejournal.com]

yeah, honestly, i don't think it's considered unique ANYWHERE in the US anymore =/
