4. Arigatou gozaimasu!

5. I looked up Liam Gallagher on Japanese Wikipedia and it said リアム

6. Liam Neeson —> リーアム/Rīamu

   Liam Gallagher —> リアム/Riamu

   Not sure how you pronounce your kid’s name, but I’m sure it’s one of these two. Never seen or heard リャーン before.

7. リアム。No long vowel.

8. リアム the other is wrong.
