Nicknames for Libby?

[janicethemenace]

Hi ladies, I was wondering if the name Libby could be shortened? it's already quite a short name, but me and hubby would like a nickname option. 😁 Preferably something unique, as "Lib" and its varients are overused. Thank you lovelies!

Libby is a nickname, for Elizabeth. Why would you want to shorten it further?

[CodenameVillanelle]

You can't have a nickname for a nickname

[Thurlow]

I mean, I'd probably end up saying Libs at some point if I had a Libby - but it is already a shortened version already

[FrightClub]

Hortense?

[ThroughThickAndThin01]

It is a nickname. Libs? Can’t really nickname a nickname,

[OnlyFoolsnMothers]

Libby is the nickname

[PotteringAlong]

Libby IS the nickname. Put Elizabeth on the birth certificate, call her Libby.

[AJTracey]

Liberty

[TotalBitch]

Bee maybe?
Libs
Bee-Bee

But, as pps say, I also think Libby won't necessarily get a nn, as it already is a nn, short for Elizabeth.

Are you looking for a nn to use on purpose or just trying to find all the possible nns in case you hate one so much that it puts you off the name? If it's the former, I wouldn't find a nn for a nn. I'd stick with Libby, which is already a nn.

Elizabeth 😆

[kursaalflyer]

Lib-lob
The Libster
Liblar

Whatever you want!
Shazzer, Trace, Lulu....

[ErrolTheDragon]

Well... I suppose you could use Lillibet. It's not unique but the current main owner of it doesn't really use it now afaik and she can't last forever.

Seriously, 'Libby' is one of the many NNs for Elizabeth. Use Elizabeth and then you've oodles of variations.

Libby is a nickname for Liberty or Elizabeth. To shorten Libby perhaps lib.

[zigaziga]

But Libby IS the nickname?

@FrightClub

Hortense?

🤣🤣
I really don't understand the obsession with nicknames on here. It's ridiculous, why not just give your baby the name you like and want to use.

[Nessashanessa]

Bee. Liberace. Libellous. Liberate. Statue.....of Liberty. Libidinous

[PonderingPeggy]

IME nicknames that stick are the ones that evolve naturally and are usually chosen by the child's friends.

[CaledoniaCatalan]

I don't think Libby would get shortened as it is already a nickname for Elizabeth. I know one Libby and she gets called nothing other than Libby

[TwoLeftSocksWithHoles]

Corned Beef?

[AfterSchoolWorry]

Libby is a nickname!

[BackforGood]

@FrightClub


As everyone has said, Libby is already a shortening.
No doubt, at various times, people will say 'Lib' or 'Libs', but nicknames evolve naturally, and are often nothing to do with their name or what their parents have called them.

[WhereverIGoddamnLike]

Libby is the nickname. She'll spend her life telling people her name isnt Elizabeth because Libby is a nickname for Elizabeth.

[Twobrews]

I went to school with a Libby, just Libby not Elizabeth. We used to call her Umbongo!

[HeddaGarbled]

People shorten long names and lengthen short names, so apart from Libs, I think you should probably expect Looby-Loo or similar.

[thegreylady]

My cousin’s dd is Liberty shortened to Libby or sometimes Bee.
