Boo!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/omg-please-help-us-decide-before-i-go-crazy/page/2#post-2335445 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 10:47:10 +0000 Mommy Finger 2335445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LuLu Mom: I also know about a million Hudsons and only one Liam. </p> <p>I love the name Liam but didn't use it b/c I know how popular it is overall. But William Hudson would still be my choice </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/omg-please-help-us-decide-before-i-go-crazy/page/2#post-2335368 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 10:13:29 +0000 Happygal 2335368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>William Hudson. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/omg-please-help-us-decide-before-i-go-crazy/page/2#post-2335287 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 09:26:20 +0000 rattles 2335287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>William Hudson. I love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/omg-please-help-us-decide-before-i-go-crazy/page/2#post-2335286 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 09:25:31 +0000 coopsmama 2335286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: I get that it's an official nickname for William, but I think my view is also colored by the fact that I have been called a nickname version of my formal name my entire life and really just wish I had been named the nickname version because it's very odd to be called the formal name in certain setting - doctor's office, DMV, first day of school/class - and have it not feel like my real name since my parents were never intending to call me by it in the first place.</p> <p>I also know several William/Liam's which also affected my vote. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/omg-please-help-us-decide-before-i-go-crazy/page/2#post-2335198 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 08:35:06 +0000 MoreCoffee 2335198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a William/Liam so of course I love the name, but we went to a kid event this weekend and it seemed like every little boy was named Liam. I don't regret naming him that as and I knew it was popular, but if the popularity will bother you I'd pick Hudson (which is also adorable!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/omg-please-help-us-decide-before-i-go-crazy/page/2#post-2335172 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 08:21:53 +0000 mediagirl 2335172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hudson because Liam is SO popular right now! I love it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/omg-please-help-us-decide-before-i-go-crazy/page/2#post-2335169 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 08:20:59 +0000 Umbreon 2335169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love William Hudson. Perfect name! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/omg-please-help-us-decide-before-i-go-crazy/page/2#post-2335157 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 08:16:11 +0000 Alivoo01 2335157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted William Hudson since it seems to flow better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/omg-please-help-us-decide-before-i-go-crazy/page/2#post-2334988 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 06:08:44 +0000 BSB 2334988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: Ah, I understand. I would go with William Hudson. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/omg-please-help-us-decide-before-i-go-crazy/page/2#post-2334974 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 05:45:39 +0000 Adira 2334974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I almost named Logan William with the plans of calling him Liam! I vote that one!! Plus William is such a classic name and he can always go by that later in life if he chooses to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/omg-please-help-us-decide-before-i-go-crazy/page/2#post-2334972 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 05:36:47 +0000 Andrea 2334972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I prefer the classic William/Liam name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/omg-please-help-us-decide-before-i-go-crazy/page/2#post-2334971 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 05:29:59 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2334971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted Hudson William because otherwise you aren't going to use Hudson daily. But, I love Liam as a name or nickname. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/omg-please-help-us-decide-before-i-go-crazy/page/2#post-2334969 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 05:28:32 +0000 bloved 2334969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I vote William Hudson. I love the classic name and I like the flow better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/omg-please-help-us-decide-before-i-go-crazy/page/2#post-2334964 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 05:20:47 +0000 hellobeeboston 2334964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: they're both great, I would lean towards William/Liam though! So classic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/omg-please-help-us-decide-before-i-go-crazy/page/2#post-2334928 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 01:58:53 +0000 travellingbee 2334928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: nope William must be in the name as it is my father's name and grandfather's name and his father's name as well for 4 generations. I also prefer Liam to William but William is a tribute to my family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/omg-please-help-us-decide-before-i-go-crazy/page/2#post-2334927 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 01:54:17 +0000 travellingbee 2334927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coopsmama: I'm totally cool with you not liking Liam as short for William but just as an FYI, they are not two separate names although people may use them for that. Liam is derived from William in the same way Bill is. <a href="http://nameberry.com/babyname/Liam" rel="nofollow">http://nameberry.com/babyname/Liam</a><br /> All of the famous Liam's are actually Williams. Liam Neeson, Liam Gallagher- both born William. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/omg-please-help-us-decide-before-i-go-crazy/page/2#post-2334920 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 01:26:32 +0000 FannyMae 2334920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted William Hudson. I'm not a huge fan of surname as first names, and Hudson is extremely popular here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/omg-please-help-us-decide-before-i-go-crazy#post-2334915 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 01:08:31 +0000 coopsmama 2334915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kiddosc: +1 I dislike the nickname Liam for William. Drives me crazy for some reason! They are not the same sound at all.</p> <p>I much prefer Hudson, OP. Or just Liam. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/omg-please-help-us-decide-before-i-go-crazy#post-2334904 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 00:39:13 +0000 autumnlove 2334904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>William! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/omg-please-help-us-decide-before-i-go-crazy#post-2334903 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 00:39:04 +0000 ALV91711 2334903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the flow of Hudson William better. But I like the nn Liam, so I'm torn and really no help to you. I do like Liam with DS1's name though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/omg-please-help-us-decide-before-i-go-crazy#post-2334896 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 00:28:57 +0000 iheartleopardprint 2334896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think Hudson William flows much better than William Hudson. I also prefer to use their actual name, so using Liam and William isn't something I would go for. Classic names aren't super popular where I live, so that sways me as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/omg-please-help-us-decide-before-i-go-crazy#post-2334891 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 00:07:33 +0000 BSB 2334891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I admit I was so confused why Liam was a nickname. (I had to read a few responses to realize that Liam is part of William.) I like Liam over Hudson. William is just okay in my book. Sorry, I don't know your history, could you name him Liam and skip the William part? I like Liam Hudson.</p> <p>I do think that you could name him William and Whatever you call him is all up to you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/omg-please-help-us-decide-before-i-go-crazy#post-2334889 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 00:04:25 +0000 littleblessings 2334889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I prefer Hudson William. I like the ring to it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/omg-please-help-us-decide-before-i-go-crazy#post-2334888 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 00:01:19 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2334888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Liam </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/omg-please-help-us-decide-before-i-go-crazy#post-2334846 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 23:12:06 +0000 birdofafeather 2334846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hudson William! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/omg-please-help-us-decide-before-i-go-crazy#post-2334729 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 21:15:46 +0000 kiddosc 2334729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: It sounds forced to me, since the l-i-a-m in William isn't pronounced like Liam. I like both names on their own, but don't care for this nn combo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/omg-please-help-us-decide-before-i-go-crazy#post-2334723 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 21:12:47 +0000 travellingbee 2334723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: I don't specifically like matching letter names but it doesn't really bother me either. </p>
