On the bright side it's been awhile since anyone made the reference so hopefully that'll die down with Liam too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-name-him-after-that-actor#post-768411 Wed, 08 May 2013 16:52:53 +0000 lemondrop 768411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We ran into that, someone asked if we named our little boy Cameron, "oh, like Cameron Diaz." Yes, we totally named our BOY after her. Sure. Uh-huh. Totally. People are stupid. </p> <p>PS- I LOVE the name Liam! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-name-him-after-that-actor#post-768403 Wed, 08 May 2013 16:46:55 +0000 Kemma 768403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Liam was the most popular boys for 2012 in New Zealand! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-name-him-after-that-actor#post-768329 Wed, 08 May 2013 16:04:38 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 768329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: It's funny because I actually really like Liam Neeson, but not enough to name my kid after him...</p> <p>@Chillybear: Oh yes, I love Will, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-name-him-after-that-actor#post-768319 Wed, 08 May 2013 15:57:23 +0000 .twist. 768319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>weird!

I have a friend who's kid is named Liam and Liam Neeson never, ever once occurred to me. o_O </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-name-him-after-that-actor#post-768060 Wed, 08 May 2013 14:31:15 +0000 Chillybear 768060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>William is our top choice for boys name right now with the nn Liam, its funny how many people dont get that as a nickname for William until i explain it to them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-name-him-after-that-actor#post-768051 Wed, 08 May 2013 14:28:34 +0000 Smurfette 768051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A couple think we are hard core Republican's since we named her Reagan. Um, nope just like the name. </p> <p>Funny is we like Kennedy for a girls name but no way we could two girls with former presidents names. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-name-him-after-that-actor#post-767960 Wed, 08 May 2013 14:03:30 +0000 mamimami 767960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>leaving the hospital, in the elevator, some random strangers asked us our son's name. When we told them "William," they were all, "OH! Like William Levy!!" And we were all "um, yeah. that total cheeseball? Yes, just like him." </p> <p>Um. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-name-him-after-that-actor#post-767956 Wed, 08 May 2013 14:01:53 +0000 winniebee 767956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Liam is common enough that I wouldn't think anyone would ask you that! Also it's not like that actor is SO popular. </p> <p>I would think if you named your daugher Demi than people might ask questions like that, but Liam? Strange! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-name-him-after-that-actor#post-767929 Wed, 08 May 2013 13:51:49 +0000 ladyfingers 767929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH is a huge Yankees fan and our DS shares a name with a very famous player, so we get that a lot. It's annoying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-name-him-after-that-actor#post-767874 Wed, 08 May 2013 13:31:11 +0000 Mrsbells 767874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. tictactoe: When I was in england Liam was a very common name there but I dont know a single liam over here in america. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-name-him-after-that-actor#post-767867 Wed, 08 May 2013 13:29:07 +0000 Alivoo01 767867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hubby actually likes Maddox as DS's name because of Angelina Jolie's son, Maddox. They'll both be Cambodian and hubby has a "thing" for Angelina so he thinks it's THE perfect name for our son. hahahaha. We haven't finalized a name yet, but hubby made it very clear that's his favorite!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-name-him-after-that-actor#post-767863 Wed, 08 May 2013 13:26:48 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 767863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@knittylady: Oh yes, that I can totally see. I love the name James, but Jimmy + our last name is a former president's name and it would be too strange. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-name-him-after-that-actor#post-767859 Wed, 08 May 2013 13:25:41 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 767859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: HAHA omg people are so funny. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-name-him-after-that-actor#post-767833 Wed, 08 May 2013 13:20:11 +0000 pregnantbee 767833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. tictactoe: That's ridiculous. Ugh. Our son also has a famous actor's name -- luckily we haven't gotten that question! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-name-him-after-that-actor#post-767830 Wed, 08 May 2013 13:19:11 +0000 knittylady 767830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the name Liam and it's funny the only thing stopping me from naming LO Liam is that our last name is the Swedish form of Nelson. I never think of Liam Neeson in general when I hear the name, but definitely knew that people would think of him if it was paired with our specific last name! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-name-him-after-that-actor#post-767828 Wed, 08 May 2013 13:19:05 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 767828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When Noelle was first born, I felt like every stranger we met asked if she was born on Christmas! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-name-him-after-that-actor#post-767817 Wed, 08 May 2013 13:17:14 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 767817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A lot of times, when someone asks what our son's name is and we tell them it's Liam, they ask if we named him after Liam Neeson. Or they'll say, "Oh, like the actor?" which I don't think is assuming we named him after the guy, but is still strange. I usually say, "We didn't name him after the actor, but it is spelled the same." </p> <p>Isn't Liam a common enough name now that everyone doesn't need to assume we named our son after the actor???</p> <p>Have you ever gotten a similar response when you tell a stranger your LO's name? </p>
