So, I finally was given an opinion on a baby name from my boyfriend. He likes the name Liam. 'Tis a sad day because although nothing is wrong with Liam, it is not my cup of tea. But the real story is this...

I told my best friend about my boyfriend's opinion on the name. She goes on to tell me that she loves the name Liam and that she is planning on naming her son Liam one day. 

But it would be spelled Lieum.

Now, am I crazy or is that insane? Is that a real name? 

Also, some babies I know of...

Alexie Kay
Cedric
Britton (m)
Noah
Taylr (not a typo), Caleb
Jamie, Camrin (f,f)
Colina
Trinity, Riley (m)

I think Liam is a beautiful name. A little boring, yes, but nothing wrong with it. But Lieum?

...no.

Sounds like a rather unpleasant throat infection...

I LIKE:
Alexie - as a nn, NOT a full first name
Noah
Caleb
Jamie - I don't hate it on f, but prefer m

Liam's actually a number one name of mine - Liam James (after the hubby's middle name of William, and both our dads are named James :) ), but Lieum? :-/ It makes me want to say lie-um. :( Not a fan.

I like Noah, Britton and Cedric, not a fan of Taylr, Camrin or Colina.

I'd pronounce that Lye-um. And so would everyone else.

Nah, I got the oh so beautiful sounding Lieu um out of that, so there's a chance he'll have his horrible name butchered in other ways. He'll be even more unique!

Ughh, I'm not a big fan of Liam myself, but it's a fine enough name. But Lieum, really?! Eww.

When you have to specify that a name is not a typo when you write it, it should NOT be spelt that way! lol.

Exactly this.

I like Liam, though, but I wouldn't change the spelling AT ALL.

Lieum is a no. I only like Cedric and Noah.

And Caleb. Damn I miss my paid account.

Liam is great.

Lieum is not. If I didn't know it was supposed to be Liam, I would say it like it's spelled: lie-um
