WilLIAM - how does Liam not make sense?
Liam is a pretty old Irish nickname, and if you say the name quickly, emphasizing the second syllable, you do get WILL-liam.
As for Bill: You realize it's a rhyming nickname? Just like Bob is for Robert? Rob=Bob, Will=Bill. Created because there were too many people named Robert/Wiliam and they needed to differentiate between the two.
