"The name Liam is certainly a modern Irish [1] pet form of Uilliam, but there is no persuasive evidence that it was used before the 17th century."
"[1] It seems to be very little used in Scotland."
And that aside, it's a great name. As long as people are still being named Bill, Dave, Fred, George and Bob every other male name shouldn't be allowed to be considered lame or overplayed.
