Niam is the ship name for One Direction members Liam Payne and Niall Horan. It is the third most popular pairing for both Liam and Niall.[1] Overall, it is the sixth-most popular out of the ten intraband pairings (including Zayn).[2]

For his part, I think Liam is Niall’s sounding board too. Liam seems to know a lot about how Niall views himself as a person which makes me think they’ve talked quite a bit about anything and everything and also deep stuff. I think Niam have a very similar dynamic to Zouis and Narry in that Niall and Liam are very very even in their relationship.[3]
