Liam is the short form of William which means "will Helmet" whatever that means, and Quinlan means "Beautiful shape". Went for the names as opposed to the meanings. I was SOOOOO insistent that I was going to have a boy and that I was going to name him Liam (we decided not to find out the sex of the baby this time) that I let John name our second child.We picked from his "top 5" list. Quinlan just kept growing on us.(at that time, we knew it was a girl) Now I love it. Wouldn't have named her anything else. Some of the other options were: Moira, Bria, Kiera, and Kieran. With Liam I think it was Liam, or else (I wouldn't let him pick any other boy's name), Bria. We were trying to pick a girl's middle name in the hospital when I was in labour! We simply couldn't agree!!!!!! Too funny! But then I was so insistent that we were having a boy that I hardly let him think about girls' names! LOL!!!!!!!!! What an amazing time. Carter and Ian are both beautiful names. You will definitely choose the right one when the time comes. Bless you in this amazing time of your life. You will NEVER EVER EVER forget it! It is truly one of God's miracles!!!!!!
