An OT name question

[Maria Gromova]

I have a name question not concerning Potterverse, but this is the place to ask such questions, right? The thing is, I am,  and for the first time, I think, at loss how to pronounce the first name of the main character in a series that recently became one of my favorites. And it is a common name, too, but it seems to be pronounced in many ways, and I don't know which one is correct. I read this series in translation, but I think the pronunciation given in the translation is wrong, for many sites about names and my own limited knowledge of Gaelic (it's an Irish name), give another pronunciation. The name is Liam. Should it be pronounced LY-am or LEE-am? Would be glad of any help.
Maria.
