Just out of interest do you like this name? I really love it but not sure how it comes across. We would probably shorten to Libby.

@MartaHallard - that's a little harsh and probably comes across as much more patronising than you intended it to sound.

OP - it's a pretty name - if you love it - then use it.

All due respect to Libby Squire, and I hope they find her soon safe and well, but I haven't heard of her. I'm not sure it will be relevant by the time OP's baby is old enough to hear about it.

I like it, OP, but wasn't brave enough to use it myself. It reminds me of Liberty-Belle from Juno.

i think it's quite 'wag' ish/ nouveau.

If you like Libby go for Elizabeth.

I'm guessing you don't know that Liberty Anna is the full name of the student Libby Squire who is currently missing, so this is perhaps not the best time, op.
