As in, Liv Tyler. Liv. Not short for Olivia.

I do like the nickname Livi, but is this what all Olivia's get called these days? There are a lot of Olivia's out there so does this mean a Liv/Livi would actually blend in with all the Olivia's?

Liv is a standalone name but is Norwegian and is pronouned 'Leave'.

Liv pronounced phonetically is a nickname for Olvia or Livia. Everyone will assume it is a nickname for these, of course they will. And yes, there are a lot of those around so she will "blend in".

Liv Tyler has simply 'Liv' on her birth certificate, but some celebrity model naming her child some diminutive does not validate as a real name, imo.
