As someone named William, I pronounce it with two syllables; I prefer the “Will-yum” pronunciation to “Wil-lee-uhm”. Though, most people where I live say “Wee-uhm” (unless they don’t have the regional accent). I don’t know why, but I sometimes cringe when I hear my name said with three syllables. I makes more sense to give it three syllables, as that makes it phonetically sound. However, I think that “Will-yum” sounds nicer to my ears. I normally go by Will, anyways; Liam has never suited me.
