I dont think so.

"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.
